Page 3 the Annual General Meeting. We incurred an operating loss for the year due primarily to costs associated with the move to the Lawson House and a special grant to the Municipality to permit the part-time hiring of an archivist in November and December. Reserves were adequate to cover the excess of expenditure over income. Executive Committee: The Executive Committee, comprised of all the Directors, met eight times during the year.

With the completion of the restoration of the Gertrude Lawson House, we now focus our attention on providing volunteer support for the municipally administered Museum & Archives.
