PRESIDENT’S LETTER Happy Spring, It feels like spring today. It is supposed to be in the 60’s and 70’s today and tomorrow. On Feb. 28th a tornado hit Naplate and Ottawa. Two people were killed when a tree fell on them. That was only 2 blocks north of the Guild. Some houses were flattened and many lost their roofs. We have damage to the Guild building. The neigh- bor’s tree fell on our roof, made 4 holes in the roof, cracked the main beam and broke a light fixture. Our friend, George Conrad, came over and put a tarp on it and covered the probates with plastic so they wouldn’t get wet. The insurance adjuster has been here and so has a contractor. We will get the inside beam repaired and a new roof. We had 2 visitors today, one from Hawaii and one from Texas. It is always good to have people in to do research. Hope you have a Happy Mother’s Day and Father’s Day . Jenan Jobst, President THE GENIE’S VIEW PAGE 2 MEMBERSHIPS GUILD—2017 Our library continues to grow with the help of a few vol- unteers.
