INTRODUCTIONS  
III.  
"History is One Form of Preservation" - David Sapp  
Local author and scholar David Sapp will present "History Is One Form of  
Preservation." Not everything can be preserved, but all our structures have  
a history. David will share the history of two historic structures that are no  
longer part of the architectural fabric of Columbia: the 200-year-old Bear  
Creek Christian Church and the 75-year-old Lustron House.  
IV.  
"Barnett School and the Barnett Welfare Workers Club" - Vikki Pauley  
Genealogist Vikki Pauley will present "Barnett School and the Barnett  
Welfare Workers Club." Genealogical research can take many forms, and,  
in this presentation, Pauley will share the histories she has uncovered  
while researching the Barnett School and the Barnett Welfare Workers  
Club in northeastern Boone County. This club served as one of the  
precursors to today’s 4H Clubs, and Vikki will share how and where she  
performed the historical and genealogical research to learn more about  
this historic Boone County school, the club it housed and the club’s  
members.
