He now thinks the Trustees should consider working with the Friends' 501(c)(3)...provided it is solid and they did everything that was required. Jack said the Trustees should decide whether or not this would work and, if so,approach the Friends. ff Friends willing to do this,the Trustees should first seek legal counsel to advise how it would work; identify pitfalls; and walk us through the process; and then Trustees would make their decision. Jack said Mike Richardson spoke with Leslie Marsh of the Friends and she feels it could work and would be willing to work with the Trustees. Leslie Marsh would be the person who would file the required reports. Consensus: Trustees reached a consensus to approach the Friends of the Mashpee Public Library to see whether the Friends would be agreeable to explore the idea of working with the Trustees on expanding their mission insofar as the scope of their fundraising is concerned.
