 Treasurer’s Report:  The Treasurer’s Report as presented by Linda Roser was approved.  She reported expenses of $68.40 for the Website for March/April and for lunch for Ruth Gervais to attend the YLS Book Drive planning meeting.  There were two new memberships received.  There is a balance of $1,920.34 as of 5/1/2001.

 Union List:  Mike McReynolds reported on the Union List.  It was debated as to what should be done with the Union List, because of its size.  It was suggested that the list be pulled into Word or Word Perfect & made available on diskette.  Tranne Pearce volunteered to burn CD’s for those who don’t want diskettes.  It was debated whether or not the old list should be updated first and suggested that the list be updated by sections, rather than all-at-once.  “Interim Deadlines” would be set for each update.  Linda Roser will pull the list into Word or Word Perfect to determine how large a document it will be.  Members will be polled to see if anyone that is not already on the list, would like to add their library’s holdings.  They should contact Mike McReynolds.  Mike and Tranne Pearce to confer before the next membership meeting to finalize the plans for the Union List.

 Technology Committee:  It was noted that the KCALL web page is out of date.  Susan Duede will contact Nancy Stancel about updating the information.  Susan will also be asking members for any updates, announcements, etc. that should be placed on the web page. 

Bylaws Committee:  The bylaw changes were noted and discussed.  It was decided there were so many issues to discuss that a bylaws meeting was warranted.  The issue was tabled until the August Board Meeting.
