Prior to the meeting, Mr. Bob Barnes, a local artist, brought and displayed to us five of his original paintings. He explained that he was donating them to HBFOL. They will be hung for sale in the regular library and the proceeds will be given to HBFOL. These were gratefully accepted by Betty Ryan.

TREASURER'S REPORT: Carol presented the Treasurer's Report for the period ending February 20, 2008. Balance on hand was $23,719.17.
BOOK/INTERNET SALES: The February 16th book sale brought in $1,106.27. The members voted to keep the hours of the book sales the same for all of the year 2008. Gillian reported that the last three internet sales have been good with each one earning at least $1,000. Gillian suggested that we begin giving teachers with identification a special discount at our regular sales. Naoma moved that we give them 25% off on books, and 50% off on textbooks. Marilyn seconded it and it passed unanimously.
TRANSFER TO OUR FIVE REGULAR FUNDS: Naoma proposed that we transfer money to the five funds which HBFOL regularly maintains. Gabor moved that we give $2,000 apiece to each of the funds and Naoma seconded it. It passed unanimously.
LIBRARY REQUESTS: Elmita reported that Michael Moore of the Library needs a wooden cabinet in which to store CDs. Such a cabinet would cost about $600. Betty moved that we buy the cabinet and also some small HBFOL identifying plaques which will be used to mark the items in the library which we have donated. Barbara seconded the motion and it carried unanimously.
ST. PATRICK'S DAY PARADE: Naoma informed us that we have been invited to participate in the annual Hermosa Beach St. Patrick's Day Parade. Betty cautioned that this would take a bit more planning than we have time for this year, and recommended we take part in it next year instead.
The meeting was adjourned to the next regular meeting of the Board of Directors at 4 p.m. on May 21, 2008.
Respectfully submitted by Barbara Ross, Recording Secretary.
