New Business
Nancy inquired how we felt about the Giving/Angel Tree idea. After a discussion about confidentiality and logistics, Nancy offered to contact Dot Bourque and refer her to Leslie Palmer, Webster’s Welfare Officer.
A discussion about whether or not Cathryn should be ordering and advertising new books, ended in a consensus that Cathryn’s input/insights were needed.
