MEETING OF MARCH 21, 2012
Members present: D. Yost, B. Luthardt, G. Miller, G. Ceman, C.Lawson, E. Brown, M. Mohr, T. Empringham and D. Craig
Meeting called to order at 2:10pm by Dorothy Yost. Minutes of meeting on Dec. 13, 2011 were approved.
Treasurer's report was extensive. Copies of the First Quarter 2012 Interim report are available and filed at the bookstore. Our new treasurer, George Ceman, did an outstanding job of bringing revenue, expenses, operating balances and long term assets up-to-date. The "Strawman" plan/ budget for 2012 was approved. A copy is available at the bookstore.
Library requests: Members voted to approve $6500 (other half of money budget from July 2011 to June 2012) for library spending as requested by Elmita Brown, Library Manager. She has also requested we pay for 11 more magazine subscriptions at a cost of $550. It was suggested that a service called EBSCO take over ordering magazines that the library needs that FOL pays for each year. We voted and agreed that Elmita would contact EBSCO to determine cost of this service and cost of the additional 11 magazines requested and based on findings would make our decision. The library currently has $1800 from FOL last year and we will determine if their budget and our FOL budget can be satisfied for all concerned. There are three adult speaker programs coming up this year at the library. The cost of refreshments is $25 for each speaker and FOL board voted to approve expenditure.
Other business: The next newsletter will be in July. Bob offered to talk to Naoma regarding taking over the online newletter. We appreciate all the work she has done in the past writing the online FOL news, keeping track of the history of FOL including photos, schedules of booksales, membership applications, etc., and paying for the website. Toni offered to check with the Gazin Family for a possible donation to their Memorial Fund and to clarify how that money is spent at the Library. George continues to keep track of our internet sales with Josh by comparing books taken, books sold, and books returned.
There will be a County meeing April 28, 2012 at the Dorothy Chandler.
On June 21, 2012, the Chamber of Commerce Mixer will be held in our bookstore on Bard at 5pm. All are welcome.
Meeting adjourned at 4pm.
Respectfully Submitted,
D. Craig, Recording Secretary
