Hi All,
Just a reminder that the minutes also have to be sent to Pam Kolacy, the City Clerk and to Carol Costello. So if
you have not done that can you please send copies to both of them?
Thanks so much,
Theresa

IsFreed up some money for book purchasing, and clarified how money donated via foundation for books
can be spent by library staff
Talked about raising seed money for capital campaign, including appointing Theresa campaign

this job; foundation would hire executive assistant for paper work
