D2. Telethon 2001
a) Recommendation to move the Telethon to every other year basis. Report presented
by Deborah Clark,Library Director and Robert Karatsu, Library Services Manager.
Deborah Clark, Library Director, stated that when a new Telethon campaign began, the project for
which the funds were raised at the last Telethon is available for viewing. Unfortunately, this year
staff is unable to start the process for the Kidsmobile project until the federal grant that was applied
for is approved or denied. After the approval, time will be needed for the process of obtaining a
bookmobile.
In addition, staff time and energy will be committed 100 percent to getting the bookmobile project
off the ground and effectively using the $68,000 granted by the State Library to create the project.
Robert Karatsu, Library Services Manager, gave an oral report to the Board about the Bookmobile
Conference he attended in Ohio,explaining the time frame to order a book mobile could involve nine
(9) months from start to the receipt of the vehicle.
Deborah Clark, Library Director, stated the donations raised for Telethon 2000 will be used to
purchase the books and equipment for the Kidsmobile, as promised in campaign 1999. However,
she strongly believes that a better atmosphere and fundraising case will be made if the next Telethon
is scheduled in 2002, when the bookmobile can be on display with the $50,000 worth of materials
there for the public to see during the campaign kick-off that will occur in December of 2001.
In requesting the Foundation to approve staffs recommendation to move the Telethon to an every
other year basis, the Director mentioned that she had received a phone call from Foundation
Boardmember Ron Stark,warning that he believes that a shift in time frame could result in a loss of
income and would set back the fund raising process and energy generated by the event.
MOTION: Moved by Boardmember Williams to support staff in the recommendation of moving the
Telethon to every other year, seconded by Boardmember Warshaw. Motion carried, 7-0-2 (with
Filippi and Stark absent).
D3. Holiday Event at the Winery.
a) Discussion on the times, purpose and nature of this event.
Deborah Clark,Library Director,stated staff would like to contact Boardmember Filippi on the date
and then contact Boardmembers for help with the event.
