Fox Lake/Grant Township Area Historical Association Meeting May 21, 2022: Goodbye to Nancy Kubalanza

Held at the Grant Hall Museum in Ingleside, Illinois.

Nancy Kubalanza had been president of the organization since 2003 and was instrumental in getting the present building from the Grant Township Transportation Department for use as the museum.  She was also very active with the Republican Club of the area.

A moment of silence was held for her.  It was kind of sad seeing her name in the minutes of the last meeting held in March.

************************

We are looking for some sort of Trak Phone for use since the cost of a landline is now at $138 a month.  A ridiculously high price considering the amount of use we get out of it.

As is the case with most all historical societies, money is extremely short.

(By the way, gas prices at the stations in Fox Lake went from $5.08 to $5.10 on the way over.  Thornton's only sells the Northwest Herald of McHenry County and the Lake County News, which is free, now,  When I bought the Herald, the comment by the clerk at the register was "Wow, a person buying a newspaper."  So sad.  I'll miss newspapers.)

Our original Constitution dates from 1997 and tweaks are needed on it.  We saw a list of proposals.  Nothing major.
