Old Business

Dog Island Run: Tim Wittman sent word that the county now says the road work will be enough completed for us to use the original route for the Dog Island Run. Therefore the plan is to use the original route and the original time of 10:45. Some discussion of a Plan B took place. Susan Rombeek will talk with the providers of tee shirts. Jan Ebersole is to have the tee shirt design completed by April 1, 2008. MJ Andrak has waited on the purchase of the banner because of questions about the arch in the park. Marla Hovey will bring the check list next meeting.

Arch in the Park: There has been difficulty in finding someone to build and install the arch in the park. Anne Jackets and Stella Spring will look into options. It is agreed that the library will pay for this work. Stella will talk with Tom Butler. Also, the county will be asked if they would do this work since they have asked to be present at the installation. Jerry Frelix may have the right connections with the county.

Book Drop is now completed and in operation in the library. This is nice work and a good improvement.

Bylaws were discussed. Anne Passarelli clarified two sections of the bylaws. Anne Jackets will make these corrections and bring the bylaws to next month’s meeting for final approval.

Computer has been made very operational. Dave Wolf had priced a new computer at Cosco, but he feels we are fine with the present one for now. He has agreed to maintain the present computer each month, and we will keep a question list to give to him as he does so. The board decided to not purchase a new computer at this time.

Other Business

Vice President position has become open with George Meekin’s resignation. Anne Jackets was appointed to fill the position for now.

Planet Earth series is still missing. Ånne Passarelli will purchase this series again. She also shared the new books she has bought for the library.

New Board Members, Stella Spring and Terry Ebersole were officially recognized and appreciated by all.

Meeting was adjourned at 8:45
