Of note to CCAS members, Jim Gibb was elected Treasurer of ASM, and Belinda Urquiza was elected ASM Membership Secretary.

Anne Hayward presented a talk on The Burch House, Archeology at Port Tobacco. Other talks included Michelle Kerms on Recent Anne Arundel Chapter Projects, Don Housley (Mid-Potomac Chapter) on Archeology at the Josiah Henson Site, and Stephanie Sperling on Excavations at Pig Point.  (You may remember Stephanie talked to CCAS about Pig Point last spring. Well, this talk included an update of what has been found since then.)
