 * A uniform, clean look "above the fold" completed for all counties
 * Moved all Repositories sections above Towns and Communities (previously was before Taxation, Vital and Voting)
 * Libraries section completed for all counties.

To discuss
 * "Get A Copy" Some progress.
 * Websites section - wording, which sites to list, etc.

Decisions to make, things to do:
 * Pat will fix the Utah Church Records page and will refer them to the county pages for membership records -- not done as yet
 * Vital records area needs to be populated (the one before birth)- Wilma still to do
 * Wilma will focus soon on Deaths, then Marriages.
 * Project end: We will adapt some of the tasks for the Ohio project so people will have something constructive to do after we are not actively engaged. Wilma plans to be finished with her parts (see below) by March 31.
 * Next meeting: July 10th.

Still needed:
 * Extinct counties need to be added to the Utah page, with links to pages for them
 * Pat sent a site for Utah Place Names include extinct places. Where Utah gazetteers pages List of all towns, communities, then a picture from that place.
