A Letter from the president, Phyllis Marion

Dear Friends:

Let me begin by thanking you all for your continued support of the Friends and the MH-Hillcrest/Knox Library.  Many of you have begun your volunteer activities again and we appreciate your time and efforts.  Many of you have been vocal advocates for the SDPL during the budget hearings that just concluded.  It was a difficult budget year, but the library managed to escape most of the cuts initially proposed.

We have great news–the Branch is now allowed to have small group events in the Community Room!  This being the case, the Friends have two meetings planned.  Please look at the meeting notices for further information.

We are actively looking for candidates for the position of President (or Co-President) and for Program Chair.  The most important quality we’re looking for is desire to support the Branch and its resources and programs.  You don’t need a lot of previous experience with the Friends—just a willingness to learn on the job with the support of long-time Friends’ members and the other officers.  If you are interested, please contact at pmarion@cwsl.edu  and I will be glad to contact you about the open positions.

I’ll close on a personal note.  I will be stepping down as President of the Branch Friends as of the August 7 meeting, because I’m moving away from San Diego to up-state Washington to be closer to family.  Working with Friends over the past years has brought me great joy and satisfaction.  I am particularly proud of the work the Friends did over a period of more than 20 years to bring our new Branch facility to fruition.  I will miss the Friends, but my daughter has bet me that it will be “a week tops” before I find the nearest library, so who knows where that will lead.

Phyllis Marion, President
