Mrs. Ellis reported on a meeting with Neely, Lewis, and <br />Sallie Cecil, January 22 when plans were discussed for the <br />recognition of Paris artists, W. R. and J. R. Thrasher. <br />The thinking was that it could be similar to the Bywaters <br />program and exhibit, but limited to a week - with two <br />weekends. Neely and Ellis went to see Mrs. Jerry Thrasher <br />who said she would discuss this with her husband and his <br />father, and she called two weeks later to say they would <br />be very honored to have such recognition and would help <br />get paintings for the display and help hang them. Follow <br />up phone calls to Mrs. Cecil for information about any <br />help from the Paris Arts Alliance indicated none would be <br />available for 1992, and if any funds were left over or <br />returned, application could be made for this in the <br />summer. Otherwise, it would be September 1993 before any <br />grant could come. The Arts Alliance is working hard on <br />the National Shakespeare Company's March 7 production at <br />Paris High School, project for the year. <br />The Paris Art Study Club with Ellen Beard of Clarksville, <br />President, could support the exhibit and provide docents, <br />but not funds. <br />Neely estimated about 200 hours of security at $8 an hour <br />or so, would be the main expense. He said we could <br />continue to talk about it and check possible sources of <br />help from the Library Board Funds and others, to discuss <br />it more at the March 18 meeting. <br />Ms. Lewis reported reservations are being taken for the <br />$15 dollar book review luncheon hosted by the Friends at <br />the Paris Golf Club, March 27. <br />She discussed the American Disabilities Act, which every <br />Library and other public places are having to check for <br />compliance, saying the Library needed door signs in the <br />restrooms, and she had purchased them for $15; and the <br />pressure openings on the front doors would have to be <br />remedied. <br />Members discussed the request to the County for funding <br />for Library services, and,Ms. Lewis said the users' survey <br />would be completed by April 1. <br />The meeting adjourned at 5:10 PM. <br />IV <br />10�?, ltd �3, / "�� ✓7 ��. u <br />Date Approved Frances Ellis, Secretary <br />
