call nor at 645 president Craig dot chair John Bartlett Linda Ora and we have Ben Ken bra I didn't know if anyone else on Zoom
there um all right so for notes tonight any want to take some notes I guess I think probably be able to follow through with the reording yes you know we go from there okay so we do have the minutes from the last meeting that
Jim sent out quite detail um there were a couple typos in there that I found but other than that nothing really big um couple misspells of my name which help to show them items
seven and eight and then there was an item 10 we had on the agenda for the budget but um with nothing after it well we did talk about the budget earlier so I'm GNA suggest it was yeah he didn't mention it I'm gonna suggest that he put previously
report under item two for that and then um there was a misspell on item 13 which is do too well which is just two so what I would point out to him to have changed um any other I I didn't
notice any of those um gical things but I saw nothing wrong with the notes okay let anything just other than the CPC you meant on here sorry on minutes
yeah K anything else no very exhausted he's using Microsoft dictation was that right or I think he was at the time was he was gonna try it I'm not sure if this is it yeah yeah so um you be careful what to
say so are you all set with this K yes all right motion I make a motion that we accept the meetings with the um amendments amendments to it with the spelling in that one um article on the budget for the January 14th minutes yes
okay second second it okay all in favor I I it's unanimous then all right I don't have any mail here um we did have a item on the new
business for which is really a caral professional membership um Lynn's not here tonight again so she we were going to talk to her about it when she came in um any other thoughts on professional memberships from the gang here no no any additional professional
memberships we might belong to there's a there is a group in Boston or out of Boston I don't know if it's an association or what but they run a conference every year in the summer early in the summer I think it is and
it's called history camp and people from all over the country come to it and maybe the world um friend of mine went to it last year and they focus on a particular something or other and in you know last year they did things in the
Southshore in Massachusetts um you don't know who runs it though no I mean I haven't investigated it fully but I'm on the email list so I get they do things every week I think like video you can you know through Zoom you can go
in and see it but I was thinking about that and you know I need to do a little more investigating yeah to find out what it is but whether it's an association or you join it or that you just get involved I don't know but for the
300th perhaps that year they would focus something about Kingston I don't know it was the thought so I'm a little off the track here of membership possibilities but yeah I'm
looking at that now it's on they've got it on wi um okay take a look at that anyways someone mentioned now what I'm meeting about wasn't there the mass I think Tom was mentioning uh join he was going to join the mass Historical Society yeah he
said it's free okay so um we'll have to find out from him oh yeah how that worked out whether groups can join it you know or it just say be individuals so more on that next week um the applications for tree
removal they were approved at CPA meeting Tom spoke there uh you know kind of pointing out the history of the stones and brought sample of one of the Slate Stones showing them how it l delaminated and talked a little bit about some of the stuff that he's been
doing about the history over there so um we uh we got that through and um actually um was it there um there's only one
person against but um what's name fincom chair old fincom chair yeah K Pike K Pike it's the first time he ever voted yes I think for one of my projects so he even voted yes yes
yeah which is a good thing um and he was impressed that it was going back to the way it was and that we weren't just yeah cutting down trees to cut down trees should we get to town meeting I think that's a important point to really stress
yes protection and restoration to original Y is there anything new on the book project Ken yes um main thing is uh our connection with the Joan Riv excuse me Jones River Village historical society and their uh annual meeting um the 22nd
that's Saturday of this month and a member of theirs has genuinely uh generous excuse me started a matching fund campaign or offer um so we're trying to promote that and essentially
um if members you know they it's a two for one if somebody donates uh $200 or less and a one for one match over $200 so people you know they can come up with $20 that's great that turns into $60 so
we're it's just a way to help us we have such big production cost and it's it's a big challenge as you've heard a little bit about um that it'll it'll really help us and we have some great content that ties in with the Bradford House the Bradfords and the society it's its
Origins and over over the years Jan delved into this um between roughly say 1910 and in the 50s they would frequently maybe Craig others may already know this course but they would frequently have presentations on great
historical top topics and those presentations if they're available in the archives are additional content that's something else that could be you know selectively shared uh maybe you know for the 300th so we're just just combining with them otherwise
Productions going along um we're we're really getting out there and fundraising uh Jim and I have connected with the Plymouth area Chamber Commerce making some inroads and um we're just trying to get out there so mhm
so it's what's the publication date now look like it it's still early fall uh you know end of September um and that that's doable all right do you have a a price per book yet or is that still not
known not definite we we're hoping to um roll out pre-orders next month um right now we're thinking it's going to be 50 but we'd like to do 20% off um for veterans First Responders likely for seniors we kind of have to do all the
math with that but I think that's where we're heading to be $40 for a lot of people all right how about your Comm um nothing new major to report was still
in the process of um working everything out as far as um finalizing the actual projects we're doing U and when the dates are going to be how's it Staffing um slowly growing we have a couple more people who joined um showing a little bit more interest so we
still have plenty of room for people right um you still have those the ornaments those ornaments do yes yes so um at a minimum we'll be doing a Gala sometime in December we're
going to that'll kick it off in 2025 will be our first event um and then so a costume G um we're thinking possible yeah still working on that whether it'll be just formal or if it'll
be a uh there was talk of doing um like um historical figures yeah so um that still being work out but if um that may be where we raffle those off if not then it we'll be another I'll be the her yeah
actually should be Dr Dr Nichols doc Nichol yeah all right good um the talk sorry go ahead K I'm sorry if you don't mind John
a committee meeting next Wednesday same time or uh yes yep okay I haven't talked to Professor Zim about those artifacts the marroad artifacts so I don't know where we are um I'll get in touch with him over
next month um restoration photos how we doing with that um I actually I completely forgot about it till recently so I do I do have an email out to them waiting to getar back
um yes QR codes I got anything with that that since the what was it since the election so that was a while ago but um they should be calmed down over here now to see if we can get them to agree to
take one QR code for one item or send it right to our page or something rather than go through another link twep process and that now how about the um veterans memori that we really haven't done anything with the QR code thing but
still want to my wife came across something she doesn't know too much about what we've been doing the QRS but came across this thing the other night on um oh YouTube or something and it was this QR code type deal where
it's placed on a gravestone and you go in there and they were showing it you know and you scan it and it goes back about with videos and stories and pictures of the people that were buried there you know and um so she was like oh this really something we should do this
well working on QR codes but you know current people as we heard from I think Tom was talking this about somebody may not want doesn't want yeah no they might not want like family the people we're talking about were buried over 100 some
years ago over here anyways and they're famous figures so we don't have any videos of them but the things you can do with it are pretty amazing and um so we got to keep pursuing there um and the parting ways thing this
was Lyn was working on that but we're talking about this if we could find um um you know what I'll put my wife we'll put her on there because she likes that guy and um talking about getting the guy uh Ken the host of the show host
of the show Henry Lewis Gates Henry Lewis Gates who lives up Inon yeah or Brion or Brookline and uh see if he can come up with that video of um the one on Plato Turner so it ended up on a
relative of Play Turn so there must be some just desendants um I don't know there was a guy do you remember the guy he'd be guy to find remember the guy we had I think came to one of our meetings it might have been
before you got I'm sure it was before you um African-American guy came he's from like in New Bedford or something and um he was really excited about um the research in this this area here and is
really involved in getting a lot of black history projects going around the state um I got to look his name up see if I can find him again okay um and that may be another Avenue to get that I I
know um the board out there on partings way talks about how the family lived there for several centuries and I believe the last person the last relative lived up there was the 1920s so possible to find relatives based off that person I think on there's a board
that explains the whole story yes about some no the information board so is parting ways in Kingston um so I believe part of the land is now in Kingston okay um but the actual Cemetery
Memorial and that information board is it right over the line of yes you know you know a sacred hide is right it's right across the street basically on the corner well there there's mention in what I just was looking at of too so and Clinton's right it's not that
way no it's not there so I don't know why I'd have to look further on what it say it's Clon Road oh Clon Road um but it's not uh maybe that's what it was yeah all right um we had another item
too on U returning CPA funds we voted uh last meeting to return the um something for the Civil War project 2515 to the CPA so we don't have to do anything with that except to tell them
okay um they took back we didn't tell them to but they took back I think and we're going to write a letter if we approve this tonight um to return the amount of money the $881 um that was set aside for the hall Pro
projects back in 2011 and and we were going to try to get a sign and then we're going to try to get a brochure and then the CPA approved the brochure the you know the project and once they approved it then I got a letter from the chair there later on and
said well we've reconsidered and we can't don't consider it's a viable CPA project so they nixed it so we had decided as a commission not to pursue it anymore so this money is there should go back to the CPA it's $8,800
76 and it was for the hall properties it was basically for the archaeological projects that went on there during that time so we don't have any plans for it and I don't think we could fit anything in with the original use so we need a motion to return that to the
CPA I make a motion to turn the 8,876 cents yes um back to CPC from the um Hall property project second second go ahead Linda
discussion all right all in favor I hi i k i 10 votes I unanimous then there's another project in here too there's $50 left in it it was the backu project and it was there I looked up the
article and it was for them they purchased uh sale for the Baku for $2,800 that's how much the amount uh was funded and I guess it's $50 left over it's been left over it's a couple years now maybe three years um it wasn't
really our project but it comes on to historical so if we agree tonight I'll I'll tell CPA that you know we agree this money can be returned but really it was under the Jones Village historical society and they they should be
consulted on you know the return of that money that's logical does it's because um you know we don't have any use for it yeah and um and I don't think they will either they either bought a sale that they didn't
looks like they did if they use that $2,700 so then we'll need a motion to um agree that the historical commission is not require the $50 and subject to approval by the Jones Village Historical Society
the money can be returned to the CPA that sound good so Mo so moved okay second second yeah second Ken wants to get a second in there
okay okay all in favor i i i i j the Jones Village Historical Society dinner is coming up a couple weeks right yes the 22nd yeah and the um Jones River Landing on coming up the week
before that right their annual meeting this Sunday I think it's at two o'clock the afternoon that are you going to that Ken I may have a conflict hoping
to if possible any else Riv The Landing one well you can still go I'm sure I think it's a plot lock dinner oh you should check their website out yeah I will um the final item I had down here
was the house plaque request we received a application for one of our house blacks couple weeks well a couple meetings ago Ken was going to look at it and via email said it was a very good application Ken you want to speak to that sure it it really a model of 31
Summer Street the Frederick SE and Evelyn Adams House U of course right next to the the Adam Center and four plus acres the the huge barn or Carriage House kind of in the back and um they I mean you know it's really a model what
they did they did the deed research they actually corrected makis had um George Adams brother of Frederick listed as the owner but that apparently is incorrect Etc um need you know uh check old maps
to you know and see that they're they're listed there Frederick as the owner Etc um and just really interesting to read and um boy I'd love to get get a tour of the house but um anyway um but really
seems like a great great fit so um I endorsed our approval um of the application for the sign board okay and we have to uh sign that sign that document get that back to them
right yes so um I mean that you can do that but we have to um make a cop make sure we get a copy of everything there too um de files and then they would go to um sign
a there and put it in there or what for one of the pla based upon how they you know spelled it out on the research yeah and they have the name literally as follows Frederick C and
Evelyn Adams house right right the only issue is the cost has probably gone up since we last posted this so they would have to find that out um I believe there new ownership too of that business again yeah well or did
you speak to them after it changed okay good yep then that's what I'm thinking he a veteran and um he a nice guy okay but um so yeah if you want to do that Ken if
you want to when you get back you can sign off on that we'll get that to them and um and then U make sure we have a copy of all that we'll do we'll have to instruct them to go to that to sign around too I'll see if I can call and
brief them make sure they know if something's coming around that sounds great I can always call them if you'd like but yeah and that's all I had for tonight know other new
business no K you have new business uh just uh one aside that may tie in with 300th events um at the at the Jones Village uh annual
uh dinner someone from the um Irish Heritage Trail is coming to speak to the Society members I don't know who or what but we'll certainly make a contact UM and you know one of one of the ideas one of the presentations
hopefully uh for the 300th you know could be hopefully something about South Kingston's place on the Irish Heritage Trail yeah might be a yeah we should hit them up too for those brochures that keep promising us every time I see them you know I talk to
about them oh yeah we'll get those to you we've got a bunch you know we'll get them to you and they printed up a whole bunch for Kingston and um maybe I'll drop them a note uh an email and request
that they bring some for the historical commission to put around town you know yeah um yeah we'll make a contact and there's a second one if you don't mind me a second presentation idea not really new um but Carol Anderson had brought
this up you know at and of course she's about to leave but um for the 300th the um uh the three-part Bradford videos that Jack bur of course was instrumental
in doing and and the society did um we could show those as an event um you know a presentation perhaps have the dosent from the Bradford House which I think is Chuck mcer maybe talk about specific artifacts or what's really
significant help draw people in there tourists Etc spread the word in the town this is you know this is this iconic place and what it means so that that could be you know might be a pretty neat um event you know presentation and and
particularly maybe with the films too how long are those films I've never seen them I have I I don't think they're real long I was sitting in Jack's house with him um before he left town um I mean I think there I don't think I made it to
the third one but it was like you know 15 20 minutes each maybe um but we can check that's a great idea it would help maybe with recruitment for the society you know yeah people watch this video and they might get involv more involved
in it would it be would you were you thinking having it shown over at uh Rabbit House itself or maybe the atam center maybe even in the barn over there who know I mean that might be great bring people right over yeah or the atams
but okay all right anything else K I think that's it are you up in Maine yeah just a couple days I saw that moose walk by behind you which I thought it was might
be all right nothing else then our next meeting will be what you're like what how can we end this a 35 minute meeting that's because Tom's not I'm here ah looks like the
12th another 12th March um 12th of March okay meeting will be March 12th Tom's actually visiting a sick relative so he couldn't come tonight yeah all right so we need a motion to adjourn Ken you want to make
that motion I make a motion to ad adjourn at 710 I believe okay so second second all favor I I I all right thank you very much Ken you one second oh sure finish up end the
recording me yes all right all all we're all in favor unanimous vote we're Jing here at 711
