HomeMy WebLinkAboutOperational Report from Dana To: M. Rebecca Loader From: Dana Weigman Subject: November 2006 Operational Report Date: November 28, 2006 I. Programs th Friends of the Library A. The met on November 6, 2006 in the library boardroom. Because a new treasurer has been elected, some questions into the tax status of the Friends group were raised. After some investigating, I found that their Minnesota Tax ID number is inactive, but that is desirable because of newer laws that have been passed. According to the Minnesota department of revenue, non-profit groups can sell anything portable without tax, and with no ceiling on the amount. The friends also discussed printing and design of a new brochure, and they decorated a box to collect books for Project Bookshelf . At home service B. unveiled a new brochure this month to promote and register new patrons. Several brochures have been given out, and perhaps with the onset of cold weather new patrons will require this service. Volunteers C. this month have logged 13 hours.
