110119 Ashland Heritage Committee - 01

Hello Steemit,

I’ve been writing on here for over a year now. It’s been unreal, writing for three contests almost every week. Well, I’ve got hooked on SteemNova and I’m currently building a space empire. Long story short I’m getting burned out.

No fear!

I’ve already started the Lords of Hemp: Steemit Blog series and I still plan to write in one contest a week.

However, at this time I’d like to present a new series, The Ashland Heritage Committee meeting notes!

These meeting notes start in January of 2011 when my Father lived, they continue until today’s meeting. I’d picked up writing meeting notes with the Inlandia Institute in Riverside, California, with Marion-Mitchell Wilson (also deceased).

So just like with The Lords of Hemp, I plan to start at the beginning, and work my way into present day. This will allow me to continue posting three times a week while giving me a little break in the creative process.

Thanks for your understanding . . .

Here’s the notes from that first meeting.
