Our regular meeting of the Chapter 28 met on January 10, 2010, with a few die-hards who braved the snow.  The crowd might have been a little small, but things went on as usual.  

After the luncheon buffet, came the regular business meeting with Tom Barrett presiding.  During the meeting it was announced that our own Sunshine Lady, Louise Allen, had taken a tumble.  She is recuperating at home.  Also during the meeting:  Everett Jones reminded us of the upcoming Mini Road show at the Museum of Natural History in Cleveland on February 14;  Tom Borkowski made a motion that we drop the July meeting.  The motion was tabled until a discussion could be held with the Holiday Inn;  Dave Lima asked about having a smaller place to hold our meetings. This discussion was also tabled;  Tom Barrett announced that the 2010 Symposium has been canceled due to the lack of interest.  He also announced that the 2011 Symposium will be held in Cincinnati.  The subject at that symposium will be "Ohio Horology";  Frank Del Greco told us of the actions at the National.  He also told us that the NAWCC Bulletin is now called the "Watch and Clock Bulletin".  Frank also told us that all Bulletins and Marts magazines are now available on line by going to:  www.nawcc.org and can be downloaded to meet each person's needs;  Frank also told us that the National has a newly designed website and that every chapter has a free page on it, if they wish. 

After the meeting, Tom Borkowski presented an NAWCC video program "Salem Bridge Movements".  This clock movement was manufactured from 1817 to 1845 and has been recognized as the finest quality and design of any Connecticut clocks.
