old Business:
The Doug Ohman author visit is all set for Monday, April 9, 2012. Mary will be advertising the event at Ridgewater College, the
senior newsletter, and the Chamber of Commerce will be putting it up on the sign on Main Street Hopefully Kay Johnson will
write up something about it in the Hutchinson Leader.
We are still planning to host the MN History Center's "Happy Days Are Here Again" musical program at Monday Music in the
Park this summer. Mary is still working with the Chamber of Commerce trying to set a date for it. This program will not cost
us anything and will be paid for by the MN History Center's Legacy Funds.
There is a Laura Ingalls Wilder bus trip planned on Saturday, July 7. We will be sharing a bus with Winsted. The bus is
scheduled to leave earlier in the day so that those attending will be able to participate in other events besides just the
pageant, which does not start till 9pm.
There will be another bus trip on a Saturday in May going to Fort Snelling. The date for this event is still pending. This trip will
be available to McLeod County residents only.
We will be having a fundraiser at the Hutchinson Country Kitchen Restaurant on April 16th from 5pm-9prn and will receive
20% of total purchases. Roger made a motion to dedicate the funds raised for PLS to purchase more ebooks. Jon seconded the
motion. Motion passed.
Roger passed out to board members a copy of the PLS Board Officers & Members. Roger will be serving on the Policy,
Technology and Nominating committees.
We also discussed the fact that Bev Wangerin will be retiring from the McLeod County Commissioners Board in November.
She has been a big supporter and contact for the Hutch Library serving on the PLS Board. We would like to acknowledge and
thank her for her support over the years in some fashion when the time comes. Suggestions for how we do this will be greatly
appreciated.
