The meeting was called to order at 7:30 by President John Hales. The Minutes of the December and January meetings were approved.
OLD BUSINESS: The revised Bylaws have not yet been typed. The actual cost of insurance for the book sales will be $75, which is half of the previously approved allocation.
NEW BUSINESS: A motion was made and approved to allocate $50 for a new card table for the book sales. John will investigate the cost of custom visors and/or T-shirts for book sale volunteers.
Jack Belasco requested feedback on the idea of using the FOL mailing list for an Authors series at Cal State Dominguez Hills. A motion was made to allow the membership list to be given for one time use. Discussion ensued with the majority opinion that the membership list should not be utilized for any purpose other than FOL business. The motion was amended to propose that pamphlets announcing the Authors series be available at the June book sale. The amended motion passed 6 to 4. The Membership Chairperson reported that 26 memberships at $2, 16 memberships at $25 and 3 memberships at $50 had been received to date.
The Women's Club made a contribution of $300 to the FOL and the January book sale proceeds were $1592.80.
