BOARD MEETING, June 18, 1980
CALLED TO ORDER at 7:40 pm at the Library
Treasury Report - Approximately $711.00 (according to minutes of last meeting).
Presidents Report - It was suggested that a card to sent to Robert Courney. The 20th Anniversary Party was a great success. Leonard and Hazel Wibberly attended. George and Jean Schmeltzer donated 60 Wibberly volumes to Library. The June Book Sale netted $348.00 and some new members.
Jack Belasco volunteered to be Book Sale Chairman and was so appointed by President Malone. The dated was fixed for Sat., Sept. 13th. Jack suggested that for the December Sale, the prices be raised.
Discussion of the Evy Belasco Fund - Many Donations in Evy's name to Friends of the Library, totaling $425.00 have been received so far. A letter from Jack Belasco was read. It was moved and seconded to establish the Fund and passed unanimously. It was decided to dedicate the Dec. Book Sale to the "Evy Fund" and if given more publicity, more people would be attracted. Further discussion of what to do with the Fund - perhaps to accumulate for example, $2,000 and place it in a high interest account. The Fund is to be used in connection with youth, keeping in mind Evy's devotion to children.
New Business - It was decided to set up The Friends of the Library as a tax-exempt organization so we can accept monies and protect donors. Joan volunteered to do the tax returns, Bill Malone to handle legal work.
The new stationary will be Light Blue with Dark Blue Lettering, 1,000 of each size.
Libations for the Library set for Sat., Aug. 16th. The committee will consist of Bill Malone and Jean. No house as yet has been offered. There will be no hired bartender.
At $150.00 per year, we have re-subcribed to The New York Times and a note of thanks from Louise was read. A note from Carlotta Hoy was read, thanking us for the Boards support. A list of check donors to the Evy Fund was given to Cynthia so she could write notes of apprication.
It was noted that Mencken's The American Language donated for the Book Sale will be given to the Library.
It was decided that if the Evy Fund organization should ever end, the funds be given to other groups or any one group serving youth.
