members were asked to bring the wrapped books along with
their letters to the February meeting. Lisa May volunteered
to deliver the books to the class in Betty’s absence.
Parliamentary
Advisor:
Linda Frye made the required changes to the bylaws
concerning the new membership requirements. Because the
changes came from National, the Branch does not have to vote
on the bylaw changes.
Unfinished Business

decide how we will award the two free membership vouchers.
The membership felt that this should be discussed and
decided at the next Board meeting.

Christmas tree plus any money donated at the January and
February meetings for the Louisiana Library Project. Laura
Long seconded the motion and the motion carried. Amy Carroll
made a motion to collect donations at the book sale for the
project. The motion carried.
New Business

Pat announced that each branch has been asked to nominate
for this award a local individual, group, or organization
that has shown by action and philosophy the promotion of
equity for all women and girls, lifelong education and
positive societal change. Several members suggested Kathy
