SWAN Board Packet Update & Attendance Tomorrow
by Aaron Skog 18 Dec '14

18 Dec '14

SWAN Board, I received a few phone calls from board members about the Exhibit C9 document, *SWAN Five Year Reserves Plan*. I took it upon myself to fix the confusing parts of the document and brought in the current FY15 reserves plan. So please review the attached *6 Year Reserves Plan*, and toss out the C9 page in the packet. Also, Sheila has the flu and will not be able to attend the meeting. Jim is also unable to attend. If any of you cannot attend tomorrow, please let me know by the end of business today so we can make sure that we will have a quorum. PDF file attached. Regards, Aaron Aaron Skog SWAN Executive Director 125 Tower Drive Burr Ridge, IL 60527 Phone: 630.734.5122 Fax: 630.734.5056 aaron.skog(a)railslibraries.info<mailto:aaron.skog@railslibraries.info> http://support.swanlibraries.net

New Libraries Approved
by Aaron Skog 16 Dec '14

16 Dec '14

SWAN Board, This afternoon we crossed the 2/3 membership threshold of 51 libraries voting yes for Lansing and Franklin Park. I intend to leave the electronic ballot up, but it is only to achieve unanimous participation. If you think we should make the announcement and take down the voting ballot, lets discuss this on Friday at the scheduled board meeting.

No Cake Tomorrow
by Aaron Skog 03 Dec '14

03 Dec '14

SWAN Board, I know it was my idea to have a cake at quarterly tomorrow, but we will not be serving cake unfortunately. 1) Holiday got in the way of ordering. 2) The Burr Ridge roof work is still generating a lot of fine dust and debris (along with noise). Work started yesterday with tuck-pointing the building so more odd bursts of dust keep entering the staff areas. We think that a sheet cake would be sullied in no time. Cake next time?

Aaron: 1. More sugar is the last thing I need. 2. I always prefer a dust-free cake. 3. Next time is fine. Cheers! David David J.
