Historical Context

Here are the key updates from the Clay Family Society:

1. Leadership and Achievements
Linda Pittano, outgoing Chair, highlighted accomplishments such as publishing the first society journal, creating two directories, establishing a cemetery committee, and launching a working website. Leadership transitions are expected at the next Gathering.

2. Upcoming Gathering
The next society Gathering will be held in Lexington, Kentucky. Registration is ongoing, with an extended deadline for catering purposes. Entertainment and buffets are planned for attendees.

3. Historical Recognition
A plaque honoring Cassius M. Clay will be installed on the Madison County Walk of Fame on August 22, 2010. Society members are invited to participate in the ceremony.

4. Society Losses
The society mourns the passing of Robert Young Clay, a charter member and renowned genealogist and artist. His contributions, including the society crest and extensive genealogical research, are recognized and appreciated.

5. Clay Foundation Closure
The Clay Foundation, a major philanthropic organization, will close later in 2010 after distributing $100 million in grants over 25 years. Its primary beneficiary was the Clay Center for the Arts and Sciences.

6. Genealogical Resources
Members attending the Gathering are encouraged to use local libraries in Kentucky for genealogical research, with detailed information provided on library locations and resources.

7. Other Updates
New members have joined the society. A proposed code of regulations for nonprofit incorporation will be voted on at the next meeting. The Meetings Director, Louise Copenhaver, recently suffered a house fire but is safe.
