NEXT MEETING: 2nd Saturday, May 12th, 2012, 10:15 AM. Speaker: Book Sale at the Nugget March 2nd and 3rd   Phyllis and Donna hawk Book Bags!  ________________________________________________________________________ Apologies...a couple phone calls--shock at Ed's death-- reminded us that you deserve a little more information about the final days of Ed Sepulveda, a dedicated FOL leader whom we have all come to know and appreciate over the past five years. Ed suffered a massive stroke in the second week of December, and was air-lifted to Las Vegas. The stroke caused a complete paralysis on his right side, and Ed could not speak. Before therapy could be arranged, Ed had a second stroke, on the other side of his brain. With near complete paralysis, and little hope of recovery, Cindy made the difficult decision to move Ed to Hospice, in Las Vegas, where he was kept as comfortable as possible. He died, with Cindy at his side, on Monday, January 2nd. As you have read in Donna Lee's message, Ed's memorial service will be on Tuesday, January 10th, at St. Martin's Episcopal Church, 631 West Irene. Our attendance will speak to our appreciation of this wonderful man! Donna Lee Laduke, FOL President Mary Costello, FOL Secretary  Officers: Donna Lee Laduke - President, Steven Johnson - Vice President, Jan Rider - Treasure, Mary Costello - Recording and Corresponding Secretary Librarian’s Report: Susan Wonderly Membership: Bob Alvis ___________________________________________________________________________________  Our December speaker was Jo A. Wilkins, an experienced author and publisher from Henderson. Mrs. Wilkins is founder and CEO of two publishing groups: 1) Mystic Publishers, a very economical guide to the author who chooses to self-publish his/her works; and 2) Nightfall Publications, a full, traditional publishing company. Her lively presentation was very factual, with special emphasis on the need to use competent editors, and hints regarding the marketing of your book. A successful writer needs to read two books: for non-fiction, The A P Manual of Style, and for fiction, The Chicago Manual of Style. _________________________________________________________________________________  Librarian's Report  Committee Reports  Friends of the Library members celebrate the seventh anniversary of the FOL book store  ____________________________________________________________________________    Local author and historian, Robert McCracken, spoke at the Friends Of The Library May 1st meeting. ___________________________________________________________________________  Friends Book Room Report: Phyllis Alvis  Librarian’s Report: Director Susan Wonderly Susan shows baskets and rack donated by The Friends  Membership chairman, Connie VanMalkenhorst, was honored for her service as she announced that she will not be able to serve in 2010.
