Friends of the Burbank Community Library

Meeting Minutes September 20, 2011

Call to order @ 1pm.

Members present: Betty, Gloria, Kim and Virginia G.

Minutes were not approved for August.

Treasure reported a balance of $10,833.05.

The group discussed the Dolly Parton Imagination Library project. Virginia G. had made invoices and those helped in receiving funds from the Sunrise Rotary and the Elementary PTO. The group also discussed ways to increase the enrollment such as attending football games or the fire station parade. Virginia said she would contact Chelsea with the ideas.

The bylaw update was tabled.

The group discussed different options for the annual meeting. The annual meeting date was set for December 10^th. The group would like to do a day of baking cookies for the day and would like the event to continue as a potluck. The group decided that instead of doing an auction where items would be solicited from businesses that the group would ask members and patrons to donate themed baskets. These baskets then would be won on a silent bid. Baskets need to be at the Library by Nov.15^th. Then photos would be taken and a display would be made with the photos of the baskets with an envelope for silent bidding. The group discussed participating in the Cable Bridge Run, December 17^th, as a fundraiser. The group decided that they would each recruit a team to run. The cost of the run is $12 without a shirt and $17 with a shirt. The group decided not to purchase Friends’ shirts for the runners but maybe come up with an idea such as a Santa hat for each runner.

Virginia is to check with Ana about what type of banner, for advertisement, the Library needs.

Friends discussed their appreciation of the summer reading program and decided that the Pacific Science Center was a great activity and that they were happy to have sponsored it.

It was discussed that Virginia S. would help in the sorting of the donated books.

Virginia announced about the bazaar at the Grange. It is October 22^nd from 904 pm. Tables are $15, lunch is $5. Call Betty L or Sherri M. for more information. The Friends decided not to participate.

Meeting adjourned at 2:10 pm.
