TC Friends of the Libraray Install New Officers
July 17, 2010
Friends of Taft College Library installed officers for 2010-12 at the organization's monthly meeting Tuesday.
Loretta Garcia Lipscomb took over as president of FOTCL, taking the gavel from Michael Long, founding president of the organization. Long joined the club's Board of Directors.
President-elect is Cindy Brettschneider. Dave Layne will continue as treasurer and Mimi Collins as secretary. Joining Long on the board are Bonnie Beaty, Don Gillaspie and Esther Livingston.
In club business, new member Leigh Golling asked for FOTCL support for forming a Taft arts council. Golling and her husband, Greg Golling, have formed a non-profit organization called Imagination Laboratories, Inc. (ILinc).
"Our aim is to provide hands-on learning opportunities in the arts and sciences for the youth of Taft," she said. "An arts council would benefit our goal by making arts a presence in the community."
FOTCL voted to be supportive of creation of a Taft arts council and to act as a liaison with the arts council.
