Merchandise: License plates & tote bags. The 3 boxes of tote bags that Tina found were mostly the older (better-made) ones. We made a decision at conference to sell the totes for $5, along with the license plates. I know we did not keep good records, but we sold at least 12 totes and at least 15 license plates, for a total of at least $135. The April financial report will provide more details.
I would really like to have an at-large board member work on promoting these. Is there a volunteer?
Recruiting for board vacancies – possible strategies
• Kanlib-l message to library directors asking for help from Friends or staff to fill positions
• Work with System Consultants to identify potential FoKL volunteers
Role of Regional reps
• Closely working with groups in system
• Identifying libs w/o Friends – offer to help
• Working to get all groups as FoKL members
• Expect report at each board (quarterly meeting)
• Getting copies of Friends group newsletters
Role of At-large members
• Various assignments – newsletter, webpage, merchandise (license plates & tote bags), etc.
Next Board meeting is in Quinter – Friday, July 16 – discussion of the logistics
• Meet in Hays for dinner on Thursday night?
• Travel to WaKeeney to spend the night at Super 8?
• Friday morning – travel to Quinter for meeting?
KLA financial situation – evidently if things don’t change, KLA will be in the red at the end of the fiscal year (June 30). KLA has requested that sections consider a loan or a gift to help cover the shortfall. This does not affect FoKL, but it is an unfortunate situation.
Our FoKL listserv will go away in a few months. How can we replace it?
FoKL shirts – what is our plan for the future?
Brainstorming list from 2007 – how should we use this? At July meeting?
Consideration for 2010 – 2011 – suggest all board members attend monthly OPAL meetings?
ALTAFF – are we members? Am I the contact?
• Had a phone call from a Friends president in Illinois – city pop. 6,000. She found my name on the ALTAFF website. Wanted to know if there was such a group in IL and if they gave startup grants
Legislative update
Anything we missed?
