TAB Executive Board Elected
Our Executive Board is as follows:
President: Nick M.
Vice President: Jack L.
Secretary: Olivia L.
Treasurer: Sam C.
We are not electing a Friends of the Library Representative at this point because the library's Friends Group does not currently meet on a regular basis. As soon as it does, that position will also open up.
Our next meeting is on Thursday, June 18 at 2:00 PM. If you are interested in joining, please contact me at (920)793-7116.
