The Library closes for the evening at  7:30 p.m.

The meeting starts promptly at 7:30 with the President calling the meeting to order.   A short business section takes place - reports of committees, up-coming guild events and any business requiring membership approval or vote.   The 50/50 Draw and Block-of-the-Month draw take place during this portion of the meeting.  At this point the business portion is adjourned and we have our "Bring and Brag" and Outreach.  Our guest speaker or program element for the evening  .  Our for the evening starts at approximately 8:30 p.m. - 8:45 p.m. and we try to be finished by 10:00 p.m.
