SUMMARY:Annual Membership Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a recap of the previous year\, and a look into the future of the John Trigg Ester Library! \nAdditionally\, we will be discussing the following topics for potential inclusion in updated Bylaws and Articles of Incorporation: \n\nChange to the name of the Organization\n\nReason for change to both Bylaws and Articles of Incorporation \n1) A search for “Ester Library” through Pick\, Click\, Give did not yield any results. If someone did not know the entire name (John Trigg Ester Library)\, they would not be able to donate to us. It is unknown how many other search engines do not recognize just “Ester Library” \n2) The Board felt that many residents in the current village population neither remembers John Trigg and/or recognizes his name \n3) The Board believes the Ester Village Library better represents who we are as well as where we are \nProposed change: Change the name of the Organization from the John Trigg Ester Library to Ester Village Library. These changes will occur in all applicable sections in both the Articles of Incorporation and the Bylaws. A commemorative ceremony and plaque honoring John Trigg will be dedicated at a time in the very near future. \n2.    Changes to the number of directors \nReason for change to the Bylaws \n\nWe have\, on occasion\, had difficulty filling board member positions\nState law allows dropping the number of board members to 3:\n\nAS 10.20.086 – The number of directors of a corporation shall be at least three. The number of directors shall be fixed by the bylaws…\nAS 10.20.121 – Two or more offices may be held by the same person\, except the offices of president and secretary.\n\n\n\n\nThe Board of Directors is proposing a new minimum of 5 board members with the following (2) text changes to the Bylaws:\n\nArticle V\, Section 2. NUMBER OF DIRECTORS. The board of directors may number seven (7): four (4) officers and three (3) additional elected directors. Two or more offices may be held by the same person\, except the offices of president and secretary. The minimum number of directors shall be five (5). \nArticle VI\, Section 1. DESIGNATION OF OFFICERS. The officers of the corporation shall\, at a minimum\, be two: a president and a secretary.  The positions of vice president and treasurer can be combined into the president and secretary positions. \n3.     Change from Robert’s Rules of Order to Modern Rules of Order \n            Reason for change to the Bylaws \n\nThe Modern Rules of Order are not as cumbersome as Robert’s Rules. For example\, if all members present come to a unanimous consensus\, there is no reason for a formal vote (motion to vote\, etc).\nFormal voting will still occur if there is no unanimous consent\nThe Board of Directors is proposing a change to the way Board meetings are conducted with the following (2) text changes to the Bylaws:\n\nArticle IV\, Section 10: Conduct of Meeting. …. Membership meetings will be conducted based on Modern Rules of Order \nArticle V\, Section 13: Conduct of Meeting …. Board of directors meetings will be conducted based on Modern Rules of Order. \n4. Change to number of check signers \n        Reason for change to the Bylaws – We have had single signer checks for several years. This change to the Bylaws officially recognizes this with the following word change: \nArticle VIII\, Section 2: CHECKS AND NOTES. Except as otherwise specifically determined by resolution of the board of directors\, or as otherwise required by law\, checks\, drafts\, promissory notes\, orders for the payment of money\, and other evidence of indebtedness of the corporation shall be signed by one officer of the corporation.

SUMMARY:Monthly Book Club
DESCRIPTION:The Boys in the Boat: Nine Americans and Their Epic Quest for Gold at the 1936 Berlin Olympics\, by Daniel James Brown\nFrom Amazon: \nFor readers of Unbroken\, out of the depths of the Depression comes an irresistible story about beating the odds and finding hope in the most desperate of times—the improbable\, intimate account of how nine working-class boys from the American West showed the world at the 1936 Olympics in Berlin what true grit really meant. \nIt was an unlikely quest from the start. With a team composed of the sons of loggers\, shipyard workers\, and farmers\, the University of Washington’s eight-oar crew team was never expected to defeat the elite teams of the East Coast and Great Britain\, yet they did\, going on to shock the world by defeating the German team rowing for Adolf Hitler. The emotional heart of the tale lies with Joe Rantz\, a teenager without family or prospects\, who rows not only to regain his shattered self-regard but also to find a real place for himself in the world. Drawing on the boys’ own journals and vivid memories of a once-in-a-lifetime shared dream\, Brown has created an unforgettable portrait of an era\, a celebration of a remarkable achievement\, and a chronicle of one extraordinary young man’s personal quest.

SUMMARY:Monthly Book Club
DESCRIPTION:The Island of Sea Women\, by Lisa See \nFrom Amazon: Mi-ja and Young-sook\, two girls living on the Korean island of Jeju\, are best friends who come from very different backgrounds. When they are old enough\, they begin working in the sea with their village’s all-female diving collective\, led by Young-sook’s mother. As the girls take up their positions as baby divers\, they know they are beginning a life of excitement and responsibility—but also danger. \nDespite their love for each other\, Mi-ja and Young-sook find it impossible to ignore their differences. The Island of Sea Women takes place over many decades\, beginning during a period of Japanese colonialism in the 1930s and 1940s\, followed by World War II\, the Korean War\, through the era of cell phones and wet suits for the women divers. Throughout this time\, the residents of Jeju find themselves caught between warring empires. Mi-ja is the daughter of a Japanese collaborator. Young-sook was born into a long line of haenyeo and will inherit her mother’s position leading the divers in their village. Little do the two friends know that forces outside their control will push their friendship to the breaking point.
