HERMOSA BEACH FRIENDS OF THE LIBRARY
550 Pier Avenue
IMPORTANT GENERAL MEETING 7:30 P.M. Thursday, April 7, at the Hermosa Beach Public Library. FOR: updating of by-laws; news of this year's programs. Your attendance is essential.
To amend our by-laws, a general meeting is required and two-thirds vote of those present is necessary to achieve change.
January board meeting consensus was that a $2.00 donation for membership in this day and age is not unreasonable, and is indeed necessary to finance the projects which are traditional to FofL. That is, children's design and writing contests; scholarship gift; continuing gifts of special books to our library; continuing aid with the children's film and story hours.
(To those who have already donated $2, our heartfelt thanks.)
ARTICLE VIII now states "The fiscal year of the organization shall begin on February 1, at which time dues are payable. Annual dues per adult member will be $1.00...." Proposed amendment to read: "The fiscal year of the organization shall begin on February 1, at which time dues are payable. Annual dues per adult member shall be $2.00...."
Small changes are also contemplated for ARTICLES V and VII. These are simply substitutions of one word for another relating to mandatory versus permissive words, which will make administration of the by-laws more flexible. These changes will be addressed orally at the meeting.
Copies of the by-laws will be on hand for the meeting.
April 10 is deadline for the bookmark design contest, which is our tribute to National Library Week, April 17 to 23. Three winners, one each in three age categories, will be named. The three winning designs will be printed and distributed to Hermosa readers during that week. Mrs. John Samazan is contest chairman. Hermosa artist, Clare Creighton, will judge the entries.
LOOK AHEAD ! Our March book sale netted $105. Start saving books now for the next one, May 29. Books may be left at the library (in the green barrel) or with Evy Belasco, book sales chairman.
LIBATIONS FOR THE LIBRARY is coming. Save JUNE 24 for a party at 72 Strand, Top Terrace.
JULY is the month for FofL creative writing contest. This will be worked through the Friends and the Library, sparing Hermosa teachers a lot of paper detail.
MEMBERSHIP DRIVE is ALL THE TIME. Carry some of our pink FofL brochures with you to help recruit booklovers into the fold. Recruit and report new members to Linda Merl Jesmok, membership chairman, FR6-8051.
COMMUNICATE WITH THESE OFFICERS: President, Patricia A. Gazin FR6-5765; Vice-President, Lorraine Hales, FR2-1510; Secretary, Cynthia Godofsky, FR9-7074; Corresponding Secretary, Isolde Whitney, FR2-5535.
