President Pearl Baker called the meeting to order, and several matters were decided by the Board. The most important item was the extablishment of a Visitors' Center in the Peacock Rock Shop. Mrs. Peacock has offered to rent half the building and run the facility but the C of C is too small to finance a project of this kind.
