Because
of the COVID 19 pandemic and requirements of social distancing and not holding
large group events, the Friends Board is not able to have the FOL Annual
Meeting this month. The meeting is an opportunity for the FOL Board to
update the Friends membership on the happenings of the year and to hold
election of several open officer positions on the Board.
This
email (which was sent to every member for whom an email address was available)
is to replace the Annual Meeting.
Happenings
of the Year: The FOL has had another successful year. Our
membership of 200+ members actively supported the numerous Book Sales and
special Friends Programs. The Book Sale Room was moved to a new spacious
room adjacent to the check-out area. The book sales and income derived
from the sale of historic Ormond photos and commemorative shelf plates have
made it possible for the Friends to purchase thousands of dollars of items for
the OB library. Some of these items include sensory learning wall
plaques, working stations and rugs for the Children's Department; sewing
machines and equipment for the MakerLab; twenty-three chairs for Meeting Room
3. Of course, the biggest gift we purchase are books for circulation and
on-line book services.
Open positions are for President, Vice-President, Assistant Treasurer, and Recording Secretary.
President: Patsy Franklin
Vice President: Jane Finchum
Recording
Secretary: Melissa White
Melissa is a retired educator with two children and four
grandchildren. She enjoys playing golf,
and volunteers for several groups. Within FOL she takes charge of the paperback
section of the library. Did we mention
that she loves her annual family trip to Disney World?
If there
are no additional nominees presented by May 27, the slate will be
viewed as accepted by the membership.
(There were none.)
