2018
Star Wars, BARK and No Bookstore Move
The Friends closed 2017 with an operating balance of $50,368.18 and $141,224.85 at Fidelity. The Treasurer credited lower Library spending for part of the increase. The 2018 plan balanced at $14,800. In July the Board reported higher membership receipts from envelopes sent with the newsletter, along with successful BARK programs. It also reported the bookstore move was not happening at that time. In November the Board reported at least forty people at a Friends-funded Star Wars event and four $20 bookmark awards, and it elected officers for 2019.
Drawn from: Final 2017 annual summary; 2017 year-end Treasurer review and 2018 outlook; 2018 annual plan with prior-year comparisons; Board meeting reports bookstore move is not happening; Board meeting reports Star Wars support and elects officers.
