Amy has been doing weeding in front of the library, cutting down fall grasses and weeding dandelions. Dwarf white iris in front need to be thinned after finished blooming; does anyone want some?
It was decided that there would be no food sale or float for Memorial Day; we didn't make enough money last year on that, and the City is issuing permits for vendors to operate during the parade, which would mean more competition.
We decided to get a $50 gift card for Laura Kanzenbach from Target or Kohls; their new baby is due on August 4th.
The following expenditures were approved: $250 for summer reading programs, $279 for on the World Book set called "People and Places" to provide current geographical information, and $430 toward the purchase of a 55-inch television for the meeting room with laptop and USB connection for use with programs.
