might run (but did not).

Adams County)?

her to agree to be at that meeting.

III) Power Point
A) Anne showed what a power point presentation might look like (and it's
impressive)
B) Agreed to hold further work until the plan itself is completed
C) Agreed that narratives should not be in the Power Point presentation, only outline
and bullet points. ~
W) Vision statement - ~
A) Cut asked that all come with some thoughts as to what would be included in a
vision statement - what success would look like.
B) Library Association's "preferred future" is a little long and flowery, but has a tone
we may want to emulate.
V) Recap
A) The general plan is to get the narratives into Cut's hands, he will paste them into
the plan
B) Then Susan and perhaps others will proof it, smooth it over, giving it unity,
coherence, and emphasis.
C) Then Anne and perhaps others will develop a Power Point presentation based on
that material.
D) A copy of the written plan will be given to the City Council and relevant others
(e.g., Strope) one week before the March 20th meeting.
E) Then we celebrate briefly, and then...
F) Figure out how to "work the plan".
