JULY BOOKCLUB MEETING MINUTES 08-12-12

Well there was alot going on at club tonight. We overlooked the birthday dessert to Tristana. Sorry girl!!!! A few new things have sprouted tonight; some ways to stay on track and keep our inventory clean.
1) Meriah suggested we have an Agenda and I agree. I am thinking of introducing at the next meeting (maybe we can discuss at mid-month). It will be set up like bullet points with tasks needed to discuss. A week before club I will ask everyone to submit an agenda item.
2) Meriah & club want to do a 6 Month Hat Check; keep the books going in the hat in check so we dont have books in there we just dont want to read.
3) Check Page numbers; Sometimes we need a short book and sometimes a longer one; but not tooo long.

These are good new rules I think. At our 5 year I will have our original rules and the new ones and we can go over them.

DUES: ($450)
Julie paid thru Sept
Meriah Paid thru August
Maren To Current
Tristana To Current

BLOOD RED ROAD:
Great book, can't wait to read the sequel!!!!!

MID-MONTH: Maren or Meriah to host. Where, when?? Meriah what happened to our game questionaire you did? I thought there was a fun game you had with all of our answers??
It was apparent from tonight that we need a mid month meeting to stay on track in club. This is a casual meeting no need to bring any food or drink. I think we make it easy and you show up with what you need so it makes it easy for us to justshow up on a whim.

5 YEAR ANNIVERSARY:
