Minutes of meetings include topics such as membership, holiday celebrations and observance, sick benefits, burial and life insurance, unpaid obligations and other disciplinary matters, building maintenance, weddings and other life-cycle events, elections of officers and replacement of those unwilling or unable to serve, relations with other societies and charitable activities. The record is rich with details, both central and incidental. For example, the congregation hires a lawyer to deal with a beer garden that moves in next door. Widows forfeit their right to purchase a grave next to their husband's in the society plot if they remarry. The group sends a delegation to a second Brezaner society to pool their efforts raising money for poor people back in the home country at Passover. Most volumes have officer lists on the endpapers. Volume four contains a list of members of the women's auxiliary. Minutes are biweekly, followed by records of income and expenses.
