Minutes of January 2013 Meeting

MINUTES FOR THE MEETING OF THE FRIENDS OF THE MERRICK LIBRARY THURSDAY, JANUARY 24, 2013 Lori Stayer opened the meeting at 4:35 PM. Present: Lori Stayer (President), Carol Fontana (Vice President), Diane Christie (Treasurer), David R. Stayer (Secretary), Jonathan Haas (Business Chair) and Marion Ormsten (Correspondence Chair). The minutes from the December Friends meeting were read. Marion moved and Diane seconded their approval as read. The motion passed. Treasurer’s Report: Diane gave the report. Savings account $6,784.04 and checking account $450.25. Since our last meeting the book sale netted $276.00. David moved and Jonathan seconded approval of the report. The motion passed. New Business: Our new Vice President is Carol Fontana who is assuming volunteer coordination for the book sale. Merrick Life mistakenly billed the Merrick Friends for a full page ad. This has been corrected and the Friends of the North Merrick Library have been properly billed. Jonathan will continue as Business Chair but he will be employed as of February 1, 2013. Old Business: We need a Publicity Chair. The Friends fiscal year is from September 1 through August 31. We need to copy membership forms, update the officer status with the bank and development the business brochures. The Business Membership will commence once the brochures are sent. Our next meeting is Thursday, February 21, 2013 at the Merrick Library beginning at 4:30 PM. All Friends are invited to attend. Since no further business needed discussion a motion to adjourn was made. The meeting adjourned at 5:25 PM. Respectfully submitted, David R. Stayer, LCSW-R
