Speaker 2 told trustees that the Secretary of the Commonwealth confirmed the Friends group can be reactivated by submitting a current list of board members; the group does not owe back filings or payments and remains recognized as a charitable organization. Trustee volunteers plan to reconvene interested people from a previous contact list and pursue administrative tasks such as contacting the IRS about the group's EIN.

The trustees thanked Speaker 2 for the update and asked for the state guidance to be forwarded to library staff and trustees for follow-up.
