The Easter Egg Hunt at Gavin Park was, despite the weather, well attended. FOL is sponsoring a pizza party for the Wilmington High School football team. “We could not have done it without you!”

Jim Hayslip passed the new bookmark which he designed. It is printed in color on stock paper, with a short history of the FOL on the back. The members were unanimous in their approval.

Dana Dunnn and Mike Wells suggested that creating a web page would be more effective than printing a brochure. The members agreed.

Mike has applied for submission to the Clinton County Fellows Program, suggesting Joe Knueven as a “match”

Matt Ankrom has volunteered to remove the hard covers and bindings from discarded books and recycle the pages.
