2014

A New Bard Street Bookstore and Fidelity Investments

In January 2014 the Board prepared to move the bookstore, discussing packing, police help and storage for memorabilia. By April 30 the move to another Bard Street building was essentially complete, and the Board met there. At that meeting it sought a historian and a home for its archives, appointed Betty Starr website chair and allocated website funding. A July notice advertised the bookstore's hours. In July the Board also discussed Elmita Brown's transfer to Gardena and interim staffing at the Library. In October the Friends' tax preparers, Wayland and Vukadinovich, ended their filing service. In November Treasurer George Ceman reported the September transfer of investment assets from Morgan Stanley to Fidelity and proposed a mix of maturities. In December Diane Craig acknowledged a Gazin family gift in memory of Patricia A. Gazin.
