LITERACY PROGRAM REPORT
The Literacy Program grant for the upcoming year has been disapproved.
Margaret has requested a report as to why it was disapproved. Discussion
concerning how funds can be found to continue Hargaret's position and to
continue the literacy program followed. Seeking funds from AACOG may be
an option.
OLD BUSIl'IESS
Several months ago Liz Nueller from the Humane Society had contacted
several library members about hosting an arts and crafts show. The Hays
Art Guild has been contacted and has scheduled a show for October 3 and 4.
Yuchelle Tereletsky explained that the vendors display and sen their
items and that the sponsor1ng organizations receive 10% of the sales. It
would be our responsj.bility as hosting organizations to provide a place
for the show and to publicize the show. The concensus of the library
board was to co-sponsor the event. At the present, the show is scheduled
to be held in the Schertz Community Center on October 3 from 9 to 7 and on
October 4 from 9 to 3. Discussion conerning the large deposit and the
fee required at the community center followed. Hichelle will contact l1rs.
Harborth about the possibility of having the show in her new mall-office
building. If it is held in the community center, the library board members
will help with the clean-up. The library board will help with the publicity.
Tony and Ruth were appointed to the auditing committee.
There being no further business, Ruth moved to adjourn and Tony seconded.
