Lynn Trout, Chairman Cabarrus County Historical Society, presented <br /> <br />an oral report of Society activities and requested financial assistance for travel <br />performed in connection with Historical Society activities. After a discussion, <br />the Board unanimously agreed to defer action on the request for financial assistance <br />and the Chairman directed the Clerk to communicate with each committee member and <br />request a report from the full committee.
