Temporary Change in Leadership
At our board meeting on September 27, we spoke of our need, during Faye Wilson Kennedy’s convalescence, to have one of us step up to handle the work of the president.
Vice-president Mary Ponder said she could not do so at this time. Martin Rosenberg, a past president or our group, agreed to fill in as interim acting president until Faye is either able to resume her role or we need to elect someone else. (In any event, we all wish for Faye’s recovery. Her husband, Carl Pinkston, recently said, ”She is improving, but she has more treatments to come. Her spirits are up, and she is focusing on getting better.”)
Martin will prepare an agenda for and preside at our next board meeting, on Tuesday, November 29, at 6 p.m. at the library. Martin urges other Friends’ members to send him suggestions for agenda items, or any other questions or comments about taking part in board meetings. His email address is mbr95820@gmail.com, and his phone number is 916-942-9583.
Please save the date for that meeting, and please attend if you can. We very much need more of us to be involved in planning for programs and activities and making the decisions we need to to help support our library branch and our whole library system.
And, of course, thank you all for your being members and your ongoing support, not only through your financial contributions but even more so through your time and efforts as advocates for the library.
Colonial Heights Library Friends' Outreach
JoAnn Anglin and Martin Rosenberg were at the Tahoe Park Neighborhood Kids’ Concert on Sunday, October 8, to help promote our Friends of Sacramento Public Library Affiliate. JoAnn, a Tahoe Park resident, helped arrange for our having a table at the event. We talked with many parents and kids about our library and supporting it via Friends’ membership.
To be sure, the snacks and cool fruit juice we provided helped attract many concert-goers to our table, and the free books and other promo items such as pens, post-it note pads, and paper fans helped engage our visitors in conversation with us. We don’t know if we recruited any new members, but we made sure all the adults we talked with knew how important it is to help support our library.
Another table, managed by one of our own library staff members, Mandy Werrin, along with a colleague from the Southgate Library, provided attendees more info about library programs and services and enabled people sign up for library cards. Mandy noted it was nice to see so many of the families who already come to the library.
