The minutes of the October 9th meeting were approved with corrections.
Stuart asked for donations or recommendations for books by local authors to be included in her
basket for the Library Federation Luncheon to be held March 6, 2019.

Carla Marsh shared with us a most informative presentation on the Port Royal Sound Ecology.
We learned some very interesting facts that I think many of us did not know (like 17 of the 32
shark species are found right here in the Port Royal Sound!). Brochures and handouts on the Port
Royal Sound Foundation and Maritime Center were available for attendees. A brief question and
answer period followed the presentation.

There was a reminder that bios for prospective members are due to Geni by December 26th. We
will vote on new members in January.

The meeting adjourned at 4:55.
