Today’s meeting was hosted by Mary M. at 10:30am. A field trip to the shed has been taken as a group to understand the amount of donations that have been donated.

Treasurer’s Report

Friends of Scouting, Garden State Council sent a thank you note to the Friends of the Lindenwold Library for our donation of $50.

Secretary’s Report

Back-to-School Drive – General research has shown that there may not be a need for school supplies due to the large support from the community at large through various churches and the schools themselves that host drives. However, it is noted that Special Education Teachers may spend extra out of pocket supplying their special needs students with special material that may or may not always come supplied by the schools. Research has not ended. The Secretary will continue her efforts in communication to establish what kind of help, if any, is needed.

Let it also be known that one of the requirements on the materials list is “ear buds” and the cheapest at Walmart, Target, etc seems to be $5.00. It may be feasible to advertise that the Lindenwold Library sells ear buds for $2.00. This will help the students save money and in turn make profit for the library.

The members have vetoed the idea of using the Shed as part of the Book Sale, citing safety concerns.

Coffee Table books are being set aside for this Book Sale. Whether there is space available will be determined at a later date.

Brenda has suggested getting a couple of bigger, sturdier signs for the locations at (1) Intersection of Chews Landing Road & W. Park Ave and (2) Intersection of Egg Harbor Road & E. Gibbsboro Road. Not the large ones that go on the wood frames. The pricing has yet to be set.

That’s it. The meeting was adjourned at 11:40am for the set up of the book sale.
