Funds for the Foundation will be raised through grants, corporate and private donations, as well as annual fundraising events. As we approach the year 2000, all communities will face increasingly difficult challenges with limited resources and increased demands. Libraries can only do so much without additional financial assistance and support from the communities. Preparations for our first events, Chocolate Sundays in September are well underway. We are also preparing information packets to be distributed to estate planners and researching grant opportunities.
Much work is ahead.
The Board of Directors are both optimistic and energetic, but we also need your help. We need volunteers to help staff the Chocolate Sundays. We need you to help financially. We also need to have you consider how you can help financially as well as telling others of our Foundation. This is the first issue of our newsletter, and you will be hearing about us in other formats as we launch our activities.
