Scribblers Brevard

25 April 2009

Our meeting was called to order at 10:00 Jean Pastulla. Minutes from our April 11 meeting were read and approved after a correction was made.

Treasure’s report by Scott Tilley shows we now have $5980.71 in our treasury.

Edith reported that this years Driftwood is coming along nicely. She thanked everyone who has sent her their stories via email. Edith says this will help out enormously when putting the book together. She states that more pictures are needed however. Proofreaders are needed to go over the selections once the judges have made their decisions. There will be no changes in the stories just a check for correct spellings and punctuation.

David reports Driftwoods are still available for sale. Jean will be taking three copies for her Pen Women meeting today for their raffle. We will be offering copies of the Driftwood for sale at our WordsWorth day. It was also suggested we take copies of the Driftwood to other libraries around the country to have them put them on their shelves.

Jean is going to bring in our historical scrapbooks for WordsWorth day. This will give visitors a chance to look at our history. Afterwards she will see if the library would be willing to let us store our scrapbooks at the library.

Nancy brought in her laptop to show the page she has created to allow members to put their published works up for sale. This page will be a direct link of our main page. Members present seemed to be very pleased with the page.

We will be losing our site at GeoCities at the end of the year. Scott Tilley has purchased a new domain name for us! It is BrevardScribblers.org. He and Nancy will be working to get this site up and running. Until they can accomplish this Scott will be putting a link to our current page. Thanks Scott for handling this matter!
