DKG Meeting Minutes

Minutes of the December 6, 2018 DKG Meeting

The meeting was called to order at 5:00 pm by President Connie B. There was no president’s report.

The motion to accept the minutes of the last meeting and the current treasurer’s report was moved by Barb M and seconded by Sandi E.

Beth C give an update on the 2018 Winter Break Feed and Read:
Katie Heintz, and the children’s librarian, Michelle Zimmerman, ordered $5,000 worth of beginning reader, chapter books, and novels for this year’s Winter Break Feed and Read. The in-house silent auction at our October DKG meeting netted a bit over $500; $250.00 was used to buy books for infants and pre-school children who come with parents to pick up the food boxes.or emergencies. The other $250.00 was put aside for emergencies. The Mackin Book Company donated over $500.00 in quality novels; both Coughlan and Child’s World each donated 800 books. Beth reported a sign-up schedule and information about the event will be sent to all members.

Beth will also be sending an email after Christmas to all members asking individuals to contact her about being on the committee to look into forming an independent women’s educator group, or continue as we are, which was a motion passed at the November meeting. (Please see November minutes.) Beth said she would convene the first meeting, which she hopes can be scheduled in early January, but she would not be interested in chairing the committee. After discussion, it was decided to add a meeting in late April to discuss the findings of the committee with all members and decide any further action.
Our next meeting is March 19.
The meeting was adjourned.
