Further discussion needed. Author Luncheons: Position of Manager still open. Suggestion was made to create a tour of the "grand" houses of Windsor by holding luncheons in different homes throughout the season, thereby widening the appeal of this event. Suggestion was also made to have the luncheon fare donated. | |
| 8. New Business | |
|
Fiscal Year: To be the calendar year. Membership Terms: Members joining between the annual membership drive preceding the annual meeting in May and Dec 31 are joining for the current year. Members joining between Jan 1 and the start of the membership drive preceding the annual meeting are joining for the coming year. The membership year, in other words, is from annual meeting to annual meeting. Membership Drive: Dale has set a goal of 116 members for this membership year, representing twice the number of members we had last year. Suggestion was made to set out a table, equipped with membership forms, at any and all town events. Dale unsuccessfully solicited someone to set up such a table at the coming weekend's Alumni Day parade. Archer Mayor Fundraiser: Joyce Pierce has proposed a raffle in which one name will be drawn at random to appear in an upcoming Archer Mayor mystery. Tickets will be limited in number and sold at $5 each. The author will conduct the drawing. It was decided that the Friends will support this event, but not take organizational responsibility, therefore any funds raised will go directly into the Library’s general account. | |

| Signers: Karen mentioned that the signers for the bank accounts need to be changed and Dale asked her to procure the necessary paperwork for the next meeting. | |
