Call to Order 7:10 PM
Approval of the February meeting minutes was made with four corrections. The funds left over from the grant are to be used for the replacement of damaged Ingles sin Barreras items. Ana’s name was spelled wrong under the book sale. The Friends approved funds to be used for the poetry contest prizes. The Friends will Join WLA not DOVIA.
Introductions were made to a new Friend, Andrea.
Gloria reported that the Friends currently have $9,777.05. The balance went down because of the Eagle Scout Project check cleared.
The group would like the book sale date to be on September 20th so it does not conflict with Pasco’s Fiery Food Festival. The group wants to support Ana’s efforts and will speak with her again about the date.
Virginia G. passed out the calendar of events for the year.
The Poetry Slam is scheduled for April 3rd. Betty and Gloria will seek prizes for the contest at local businesses. Virginia G. said she would work with the Library for prizes for patrons and poets. Betty will pick up refreshments.
The group discussed the building campaign further. They wanted to double check the Districts timeline. Andrea volunteered to come up with a survey of community wants and needs for the expansion.
Betty reported on the storage search. The Friends feel that they do not need storage primarily for books. It would be for the pop up tents and other large items that the Friends have acquired. Virginia S. will be in charge of the book donations. She will be called by Library staff when a donation arrives and she will maintain the foyer book sale.
Community BBQ is scheduled for May 22nd. The Friends would like to have giveaways and have the survey ready at that time. Virginia S. said she would look through the catalogs that Betty received regarding promotional items.
Summer Reading was tabled until the next meeting.
Harold signed up for goodies for the next meeting.
Meeting adjourned at 8:00 PM.

Remember to use Good Search
Here's a new easy way to raise money for the Friends. Just start using GoodSearch.com as your search engine and online shopping mall. Every time you search the Internet or make an online purchase at one of their partner merchants, GoodSearch makes a donation to your favorite nonprofit or school and it's powered by Yahoo! so you get great search results! Your organization should be "Burbank Library"
So far we have raised $5.28. I know we can do better.
