President's Corner
President Message for January 2010

This year is marching right along. The historical society board has met and has started making plans for 2010. Of course, the courthouse restoration is our big project this year. The installation of the HVAC systems has been delayed. Some great new ideas came to surface after bids went out and a contractor selected. The county, the historical society and the engineer all agreed that the new ideas would give us much better systems and save a great deal of energy cost in their operation. These changes necessitated new plans being drawn, approval from Save America’s Treasurer and the Virginia Dept. of Historic Resources and a new request for bids. We are disappointed that there is a delay in installing the HVAC, but we think it will be well worth it.
