Larry Branch advised us that Highway 205 will be closed for railroad crossing construction for three weeks. They SHOULD be finished by July 1st.
Tom House said that the Oakboro Magazine Committee is investigating options for its look and communication strategy for next year. When the Committee has completed its research, it will make a proposal to GOBA. Debbie Cole is doing well.

The Railroad Museum is in good order and appreciates the volunteers who work to keep it open.
