At the January meeting of the board of the Keo-Mah Genealogical Society, Mabel Daniels announced that she was resigning as the 
Society Librarian.  She stated that the reason was not because of her husband's health, but something that she had thought about
long and hard for over a year.  The board appointed Alan Neve and Don DeBoef as co-Librarians and Mabel will continue as the 
newsletter editor and the secretary/treasurer.  Alan and Don are looking forward to working with all of the members and are open to
suggestions on ways to improve the library in the future.
