4. Business Expo - April 3, 2004
This was discussed as something the Friends should participate in with a table and to recruit new members. Sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce. Chamber membership is $25 and that pays for the table. Need more discussion and volunteers. Also discussed need of a Friends Banner for activities and events.
For Library Board Action: 1) Chamber membership for Friends, and 2) purchase of a Friends banner.
5. Upcoming Activities:
Need to work on developing a short list of possible authors, through networking, local sources, for a spring (probably 2005) author event similar to the Kimball Friends event. Use the event to promote the Library, literary activities, community efforts.
For 2004 will work to build membership in the Friends group.
