ELECTION: The new slate of officers was unanimously approved.
Officers are:
Patricia Gazin - President
Lorraine Hales - Vice-president
Sunny Mowbray - Treasurer
Cynthia Godofsky - Recording Secretary
Isolde Whitney - Corresponding Secretary
Jeanne Carr presented past president Evelyn Belasco with a gift in appreciation for her work, a gift certificate from Either-Or Bookstore.
NEW BUSINESS:
1. Membership
Newly installed president Pat Gazin discussed increasing membership by running a membership drive in March, to be headed by volunteer chairperson Linda Merl. Members were asked to sign up for times to volunteer at the library to recruit new members.
2. Booksale will tentatively be held 4 times a year - February, May, September, and December. Evelyn and Jack Belasco are in charge of organizing the sales.
3. Writing Contest
Pat Gazin suggested that schools be left out of the contest this year. Each student would read five books and review his favorite. All work would be submitted to the library. Publicity is needed, and a time for the contest was left open until it can be coordinated with Shari Petresky.
4. Art Contest
Pat Gazin reported that Shari Petresky suggested a bookmark design contest. This was met with enthusiastic response, and will be discussed at a later date.
5. Bicentennial Display will continue through June. Pat Gazin thanked Carolyn Williams, Carol Tanner, Lorraine Hales, Ruth Duncan, Danny Purpus, Marty DeMott, Delma Peery, and Rosemary Foreman. We anticipate displays from Donald Arwine and Melinda Alvarez.
6. Budget meeting was called by Pat Gazin for the following Monday evening at her home, with past and present presidents and treasurers attending, and anyone else interested in coming.

7. Hospitality
Jack Belaso suggested a wine and cheese tasting party at the Grapevine. The gathering will still be called Libations for the Library. Inquiries will be made about possibilities for setting up the party during the summer.
8. The library system is switching from catalogs to microfilm; therefore, less money will be available. Charlotte Malone moved that Friends of the Library allocate $50.00 to be spent by the librarian for a book club membership. The motion was seconded by Jackie Wofford. The motion was approved.
9. There is still a need for comic books and puzzles.
10. Charlotte Malone volunteered to mail out the newsletter after it is written by Pat Gazin and typed by Jeanne Carr. It was decided to increase the newsletter to six issues a year.
11. The finance committee will discuss whether dues should be kept at one dollar.
Meeting was adjourned at 8:55 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
Cynthia Godofsky, Rec. Sec'y.
