The Cairo Public Library Board Members:
Greggor Petrovic
Ed Forrester
Mark Gorelick
Diana Benoit
Greggor (President) can often be found with Archie the pup near by. He is a large supporter of the library seamlessly taking on meetings, agendas and leading the board. Greggor is always down to help with a fundraiser or library event. You will find him doing any task that needs to be done a real team player for the library.
Ed (Vice-President) is a longtime resident of Cairo. He serves on the Cairo Planning Board. Maureen Forrester would be proud of the advocate Ed is for the library she helped shape. Ed is a social butterfly often found frequenting the local restaurants and supporting the local economy.
Mark (Treasurer) is the the library’s version of national treasure. There is not a day that goes by where mark isn’t supporting the library in some fashion. He is Mr. Fix-it, Advocate and treasurer wrapped in one. When he has left the library for the day he is probably supporting one of the other many foundations he is on the board of.
Diana (Secretary) when she isn’t taking minutes for the library Diana can probably be found at CDF making Cairo a better place for everyone to live. She is a driving force in Cairo. If there is a project that needs doing she will be there helping it happen.
