1. Announcements

                a. Dry River Meeting – 14 May

i. Nicole, Jacy and Lisa tried to attend this meeting, but no one was there 5 minutes to the 7pm meeting; although they said they were there and had their meeting.

                        ii. They do want PLG to help them organize their library.

iii. Nicole will put out an invite to the listserv if anyone else would like to attend a future meeting.

                b. ALA Conference: the PLG parent organization will have a dinner on Sunday, 29 June.

 

2. Officer Updates

                a. Jacy – Secretary/Social Coordinator

i. She provided a copy of the Jamba Juice fundraising flyers for group approval and review; one change must be made. PLG plans to print the flyers at SIRLS.

ii. She will have Rachel, Tom Wilding or Kris Hogeboom sign the necessary Taxpayer ID Number and Certification request forms for the fundraisers.

                b. Sho – Webmaster

                        i. Newsletter deadline is 2 June; Sho will have it completed by the first IRLS 504 session.

                        ii. Sho will continue to email Martin Fricke about website space until he gets a response.

                c. Rebecca – Events and Fundraising Coordinator

i. She has been working on the GPSC Initial Club Grant which is due 15 June. She received all necessary information from Kris Hogeboom to complete the application. She will send it out on the officer’s listserv for review before submission.

ii. Rebecca suggested applying for an ALA grant, but Jacy, having reviewed it, thinks it is more of an award or honorarium rather than a grant which may not apply to PLG or the current projects planned for the fall. Rebecca will do further research for it and Nicole will forward the information to the listserv.

 

3. Projects

                a. Copyright Workshop

                        i. Nicole, Lisa and Steven will work on this. This will be held off until they return.

                b. Panel Discussion

                        i. Rachel may have updates on this.

ii. Members held an official vote to hold the event in the evening rather than as a lunch “brown bag” event; all unanimously voted to hold the panel discussion in the evening as its own event.

iii. Rebecca will look into applying for the vendor/food grant from the UA Club website.

                c. Dry River Library

i. Nicole, Jacy, Lisa and Steven have volunteered so far to work on it and go to one of their meeting next week Wednesday, 4 June.

ii. Nicole emailed both Tom Wilding and Mary Feeney for suggestions. Tom said to create a simple database, and Mary will create a list of resources. Nicole will send out there suggestions on the listserv.

                d. Lost Film Fest (LFF)

i. Jacy and Nicole have been corresponding with Lizzie from LFF. If the event takes place in early September, everything needs to be confirmed by the end of July.
