Annual Meeting Program – Possible candidates for the open positions, Secretary and Member at Large. Various programs were discussed and there was a consensus regarding Alchemist Workshop and their play, Lending Doll.  The setting is a library and we could involve the local children, using the summer reading program to recruit.  We voted to fund this at $350.

Old Home Days Book Sale – We will begin collecting new books as soon as we have sorted through the books that were left from last year.  If you would like to assist in this, please contact Dick Schofield by email we2scofields@gmail.com
