NEW BUSINESS
1. Display Table: Sara advised that the theme for May is "Hungry for a Good Book?" and several recipe books are on the table.
2. Paint Fundraiser: The next fundraiser was discussed. It was decided to call it "Paint Your Junk" in which everyone can paint anything they would like to decorate. We will then hold a silent auction from August 11th to the 24th. We will start promoting it in June.
3. Help for Story Hour: Sara asked if anyone could help with story hour this week. They are planning to have the children make gifts for Mother's Day, so they don't want to ask the mothers to help with story hour this week.
