October 26, 2011 Cemetery Project Meeting

We had a great final meeting for the 2011 year!  Thanks for those of you who were able to make it!

For reading a hard-to-read headstone, we had a suggestion of using corn starch with a chalkboard eraser.  I can hardly wait to try that!  We have been using flour, which works great, then brushing it back off.  But this sounds even easier!  Now... to find some erasers!

Our Cemetery Symbols Project will be ready to sell by the ECGS November 9th, 2011 meeting!  The project will be a PDF file in the range of 90 pages with over 1,500 thumbnail photos included (both in the document and on the CD).  It is priced at $10.60 in the ECGS room, or $12.85 to mail it.  Come to the meeting to pick one up for yourself and maybe some more for Christmas presents!  Our website shows a sample of the project... Check it out at http://www.miegs.org/Symbols.shtml.   

We are in the process of proofreading and finalizing the project.  Thanks for the help with these tasks!
