It was during Shera’s tenure that shire meetings became regularly scheduled for the first Wednesday of every month. At first the sites for the meetings still rotated, with a large number of them being held at various members’ houses. But from the first Wednesday in April 1989 the shire meetings became fixed in location at the Pleasant Valley Library.
