As promised in December, above is an example of our new logo, designed by Vice-President, John Hales. He has incorporated the cattle brand of Rancho Sausal Redondo, the oldest graphic symbol of our area, into a unique design. Many thanks, John.
Thanks also to the person who donated the book "Los Angeles City Hall, 1928" to our California Collection. It was written by John's father, George P. Hales, one of the architects of this Los Angeles landmark.
TIDBITS, OR IS IT CHOICE MORSELS ? - Our Librarian no longer exists as such. Ron Schneider is now a "Community Library Manager". We patrons are now "customers". These changes stem from a new approach by the Los Angeles County Library System to stress marketing of the library. No need to sell us Friends.
The movie shot on the strand and sand of North Hermosa was "My Stepmother Is An Alien". Weintraub Productions, through North strand residents, donated $3000 to the Friends. The spacecraft's landing area may look familiar.
15% of fines and fees collected by our library (if it's still called that) will be rebated by County. This amounts to about $45 per month for purchasing materials for our local library.
THE YEAR IN REVIEW - Ron Schneider reports the following: The Friends California Collection was segregated from the regular collection to a special area. Friends donated $853 for books, $996 for Books on Tape, a compact disc display case, and $363 for videos from a $1000 Christmas gift from Marilyn Goodman.
THE NOMINATING COMMITTEE REPORT - Nominated for office in 1989 were: President, Charlotte Malone; Vice-President, John Hales; Treasurer, Bill Malone; Recording Secretary, Toni Empringham. Bertha Dorsey has agreed to serve as Corresponding Secretary.
MARCH BOOK SALE - Start now to donate books. Exact date later.
1989 DUES - Annual dues remain at $2.00, which after $1.50 yearly postage for the newsletter, leaves 50¢ in the treasury. It wouldn't even be that were it not for the donations of Bill Malone, reproduction of newletter, and Naoma Valdes, provision of mailing labels. We're grateful to them.
