Meeting Minutes
August 12, 2008
Called to Order at 7:05 pm.
Jill, Betty, Lou, Harold, and Virginia G. in attendance.
Introductions where made with Lou Gates the new superintendent of CSD.
June minutes were approved.
It was reported that there was $9,774.18 in the account but that did not include the United Way check.
Lou shared about himself and his vision about reading. The Friends approved to purchase books for the kindergarten classes so that when they make their class visit to the Library they would get a free book. The Library would provide a program and the Friends would provide refreshments and books. Lou was going to speak with a gal at the ESD to see about a local author that would be appropriate. The Friends would need to get a stamp to stamp the books with stating the donation from the Friends.
Survey results were discussed and it was decided that Harold would check with Punkey about the remainder of the furniture funds that the Friends raised and were matched by the District since comfy furniture was the highest on wants for the Library.
The book sale/festival was discussed and it was decided that we would put an advertisement in the Giant Nickel and put it on the Tri-cities Visitor Center web site. It would also be listed on booksalefinder.com. Virginia said she would get together with Ana to go over the poster and press releases. We also need to get the book donation flier done and email the school faculty about the sale and fiesta. The Food Handler class was tabled since it was decided that the salsa and food would be by potluck.
The Library reported that there were 120 sign ups for summer reading and to date there were 33 finishers.
The meeting was adjourned at 8 pm.

March 11 2008, Monthly Meeting Minutes
Members present: Andrea, Betty, Gloria, Harold, Virginia G and Virginia S.
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.
