We will not be home for Christmas this year, sad to say. We always enjoy our holidays with our families, and we will miss them. The Jewett Family of America board meeting in October was held at the old library on Wethersfield Street in Rowley. It was a busy meeting and went very well. We missed those who were not present but had had a nice talk with the directors who were connected on the conference call. I will be going to the new library in Rowley to take a look at the progress and to discuss where the Admiral David Jewett portrait will be displayed. The decision has not yet been made and needs Jewett Family of America input. Our thanks go to Lee Jewett Petry, Historian and Editor of Publications, and to Ted Loranz, Secretary and Treasurer, fo the great work they have done. Lee has asked to turn the job of Editor of Publications over to someone else. Director Jim Jewett is heading the search committee to find a new Editor. He can be contacted at 2601 S. Hargreaves Ct., Spokane WA 99223, 509-535-3443, or [email protected] Two family history manuscripts were received for the writing contest before the 1 Aug deadline. We have proclaimed a tie; so both authors will receive Volumes III and IV of the History and Genealogy of the Jewetts of America along with a Jewett Christmas ornament. Congratulations to Bernice Jewett Mansir and Timothy A. Lane V. Toujours le même, Dorothy Jewett Brigham Minutes of Annual Directors Meeting of the Jewett Family of America, Inc. October 11, 2003 The meeting was called to order at 11:00 AM at the old Rowley Public Library conference room in Rowley, MA. Prior to the meeting, the Board members were given a tour of the new Rowley Library by Tim Young. They were also shown the Family History Room which the JFA helped to fund with a $5,000 grant last Spring. The Board extends its thanks to the Friends of the Rowley Library for the tour and the use of the conference room for the board meeting. The reading of the minutes of the previous meeting was waived, they were accepted as published in 2002 Quarterly 4. The Treasurer’s report was given by Ted Loranz and was accepted as read. Ted advised that the treasury is down from last year due to the $5,000 grant to the Rowley Library last year and reduced dues/publication fees received. He recommended that a fund-raising effort be started to rebuild the treasury. Board members and the general membership are encouraged to contact Ted with any ideas. The Historian/Editors report was given by Lee Petry and was accepted. Lee advised that she has marked all the JFA owned material in her office for easy identification. She reported that the Family had received a copy of a thesis written by Jorge A. Delano of Farmington, CT about Commodore David Jewett. The board extends its thanks for the donation which will be retained by the Historian. Lee stated that she is finding the combined tasks of Historian and Editor are consuming too much of her time and she requested that a replacement Editor be found. A search committee will be formed for this purpose. 60 The writing contest proposed by Jim Jewett has resulted in two submissions. Copies were distributed to the board members present for review. Dorothy Brigham will coordinate with the Rowley Public Library to replace any missing yearbooks or quarterlies publications. A motion was made, seconded and passed by acclamation that a grant of $200 each be made to the Rowley Historical Society, Grandview Heritage Foundation, and Oberlin Heritage Center. The nominating committee advised that Granton Jewett asked not to be a candidate for re-election as director for personal reasons. The board extends their thanks for his assistance as a director and a family member. The committee nominated the following slate of directors for election: Dorothy Jewett Brigham Jeffrey R. Gorball James S.
