Library Board of Trustees Fundraising Subcommittee Virtual Meeting
Approved the annual appeal final draft and agreed to request $750 from the Charitable Trust to cover mailing supplies (Friends to cover the remaining ~ $250); mailing will be printed by the Amesbury Chamber and sent the week of Thanksgiving.
The Fundraising Ad-Hoc Sub-Committee met to discuss donor management and the library's annual appeal. Members discussed holding a Little Green Light (LGL) training for those handling donor data. The committee reviewed and voted to approve the final draft of the annual appeal.
The group resolved logistics for producing and mailing the appeal: the Amesbury Chamber of Commerce will handle printing and labels, with total supplies estimated at $928.08. The committee agreed to ask the Charitable Trust to access $750 from the library’s unrestricted fund to cover most of the cost, with the Friends group covering the roughly $250 balance. Tasks were assigned: the approved draft will be circulated to trustees, a request will be sent to the Charitable Trust, Friends will assemble mailing 'Go bags,' and the mailing is planned for the week of Thanksgiving. No public comments were recorded.
