COMMITTEE REPORTS

---------------------------------

There were no Committee Reports.

OLD BUSINESS

----------------------

Ann Albrecht , President, asked Glenda Stone to have a sign up sheet for

the May 4 Bake Sale available at the Dinner in the Stacks.

Glenda Stone reported that the Dinner plans were going fine. They have

reserved the Public Address system. They will send out notices three weeks before the Dinner. Ann and Glenda will get out the advertising flier.

Ann said that she needed the February 1998 minutes and the member

application form to complete the Web Page. When the Secretary got

back to the office and looked, it appeared that we did not have a February meeting; hence, there were no minutes for that month.

Ann Albrecht handed out the latest layout for the Web page and said that

the Web page would be up and running by the end of March.

Since Pat Cockerell and Mary Ann Lipford were absent, the Annual Member-

Ship Meeting Committee report and Nominating Committee report will be

saved for Old Business at the April meeting.

NEW BUSINESS

-----------------------

Glenda Stone reported that Ivy Lou Cleveland asked to be taken off the

Friends of the Library Board due to being over-extended by church duties.

Ann Albrecht moved to accept Mrs. Cleveland’s resignation and Glenda Stone seconded it. Ann asked Glenda to get a written resignation from Mrs. Cleveland to go in the files. Ann appointed Linda Land to finish out Mrs. Cleveland’s term for this year. Ann said we need to ask Ken Jones whether we need to vote on a

replacement or let Linda finish out the term for this year and then put it on the

ballot for a replacement to be voted on for next year.

It was brought up that we need a list of the number of years for each board

member to serve. It is thought that Ken Jones has that list and could provide

the information.

It was also brought up that the email address for all members is needed so

that a lot of information can be distributed through email.

Ann Albrecht mentioned that she would like to have no June or July meeting

due to so many conflicts in the summer. The May meeting would be a wind

down meeting for the year and the August meeting would be planning for the

new year.

Mary Ann Westbrook talked to Fred Cross who had asked about getting

parking hang tags for Friends of the Library members. It was discussed

that there might be a more convenient place to have the board meetings

than the Library for the benefit of visitor parking. Possibilities for other

places to meet are the Student Development Center in Mary Ann Lipford’s

or Donna Strohmeyer’s conference rooms.
