The Friends of the Rochester Library are disheartened that the referendum to maintain quality programs and add much needed space to our existing library building, did not pass. As a non-profit organization, we exist to promote and raise funds that help support library initiatives and programs. We are EXTREMELY proud of our library!! And will continue collaborating to assist as the upcoming budget shortfalls are addressed in the future.
To our loyal Friends Members - We need YOU!!! Our Friends membership roster shows that 60 members have paid annual dues, yet we struggle with only 10 members actively participating in meetings, events, etc. that help raise funds for our library. In order to move forward and provide greater assistance, we need:
volunteers at events, input at meetings, sharing/brainstorming/fundraising ideas, accepting a leadership role as an officer or committee chair and most important, your time to assist when needed. Please feel free to e-mail comments, suggestions and ways you can help. Friends email address is above or come to a Friends meeting - the third Monday of the month.
The next Friends meeting is Monday, November 18th at 6:00 p.m. at the Library/Village community room. Attached please find the Agenda and Meeting Minutes. We look forward to seeing you then.
Jeanette Firebaugh - President
Chris Humphreys - Vice-President
Anne Schneider - Secretary
UPDATE:
Wow, that was fast. Thank you to those who donated, we are very grateful for the support and at this time we have plenty of Altoid Tins for our upcoming program.
✨ Time to clean out that junk drawer! We're collecting empty and clean Altoid tins for an upcoming program, and we'd love your help! If you have tins taking up space in your home, please consider donating them to the library to support this winter project. ✨
