VI.              Old  Business

a.     Essay Contest report—Michal.  Report is attached to minutes.  Michal asked the membership to start thinking about 2011’s Children’s Book Week essay topic.  Ideas:  What is your favorite type of book?  What book inspired deep feeling in you? b.     Space plan update—The City said we could replace the old refrigerator with a smaller, more energy efficient model.  Debbie moved and Lou Ann seconded a motion to allot up to $500 for a new fridge. Marie, the super shopper, will choose an appropriate model and make sure they will dispose of old one, and check into free shipping.

b.      Report on May 22 sale and Junk in Your Trunk—Need more people at 8:00 for setup, and more at 9 for early customers, set up coffee table for Vendors, need only 6 TBP tables, Need sign out on US-23, Sale for Junk in Trunk on M-55 and at corners, put signs on tables FIRST, 13 vendors paid $5 for $65 total; use my cell phone for the Friday calls about JIT.

c.     Plexiglas report from Lou Ann.  The Glass Doctor’s (Hale) cost was approximately $125 for each table.  Tawas Hardware can cut the 3 foot by 4 foot sheets for us for about $60 per table.  Marie will check with Hobart’s where we purchased the tables to see if they have a solution for us.  Mike will check out the Hardware to see if it is what we need.  When a decision is made, Lou Ann will order.  Michal moved to spend up to $400 on the three Plexiglas covers for our tables, Mike seconded.  Passed.

d.     Booked for Lunch—Tara did an interview with Kevin Allen on June 2.  The interview has played, but Kevin will play it the week before Booked for Lunch starts.

                                                              i.      Readers-all set but, need a Friend to take our books to the beach on Thursdays June 24, and August 5.  Any volunteers?  Tara and/or Mike will have the box ready in the kitchen on each date.

                                                            ii.      July 3 Saturday at State Park at noon.  Tara will make a flyer; to put up a few weeks before. The read aloud will take place by the lighthouse. Sandy has volunteered to read with Mike.  Another reader would be lovely!

                                                          iii.      Non-fiction Books are needed.  Lou Ann moved and Laurie seconded to spend $250 on Scholastic books to distribute to Booked for Lunchers. Passed.   Mike will order.

VII.           New Business
