| Correspondence | |
|
IN: The USPS has informed us that they will no longer let libraries have book club returns. Dale has written a letter of protest to both VT senators and to Bernie Sanders. Bernie has responded, but the other two have not. Bernie sent a letter of query to the Post Office on behalf of the library. No response has been received by his office as yet. OUT: In April a letter of thanks was sent to Richard Brown for the beautiful job his shop did on refinishing the tables. Also, a letter of thanks was sent to Grace Batesole for her donation of portable tables. And a “call for artists” was mailed for Art on a Limb to about 105 artists. | |
| Managers' Reports | |

Book Sales: See above concerning Post Office. Otherwise, book sales are still doing well. Art on a Limb: Motion to put down $200 deposit on function room at Ascutney Mountain Resort. Passed unanimously. There are currently 29 artists signed up to participate in Art on a Limb. The Tour: Dale is having a hard time getting libraries to participate. Plainfield (NH) has signed up and several others are considering it. For the next three months he will concentrate on signing up the stores. | |
| Old Business | |
| Annual Meeting: 1) Venue - most likely to be the rec room [Later: Given the fact that only 21 RSVPs had been received by the deadline (and 6 others attendees expected), Dale would prefer to meet in the library, as being less of a contrast from Bert's house]; 2) Refreshments - Dale to approach Carl Goulet for a cake; others have volunteered to bake; Dale to ask Allen’s about coffee; 3) Membership Gift - will be here in time for meeting. | |
| Next Meeting: May 26, 2005, 4:00 p.m. (Annual Meeting and Board Organizational Meeting) | |
| Adjournment: 8:20 p.m. | |
| Respectfully submitted, Heather Shanks, Secretary | |
