ROSCOMMON – With the help of Roscommon Family Fare, the “Direct Your Dollars” program recently presented a $1,000 check to the Friends of the Roscommon Area District Library (RADL).
The Friends of RADL appreciate the efforts of Sue Allen of the Roscommon Family
In this year of restricted activity, the Family Fare receipt collection is the Friends’ only fundraiser to continue its support of library activities.
Anyone wishing to contribute must present a personal “Yes” card when shopping at Family Fare to receive Direct Your Dollars credits and then turn in the entire receipt to the collection box in the vestibule at the Roscommon Area District Library.
The Friends of RADL are continuing its monthly “A-Tisket A-Tasket, A Drawing for a Basket” event. The gift basket drawings are the group’s way to say “Thank You” to all who love the library! Visitors may receive one ticket each day they visit RADL. As a bonus, visitors who attend a library program or class will receive an additional ticket that day.
Ticket holders may choose which basket they would like to enter to win. Each month, the basket for adults contains a $25 gift certificate to a local merchant.
Congratulations to the December winners: Adult Basket – Carole Chilton; Kids Basket – Tom Hillman, and Mystery Basket – Emily Boersen. Thank you to Friends members Ann Jordan and Heidi Luebke for hosting the drawing and to RADL Circulation Manager, Molly Harwood, for posting it live on Facebook.
Martha Clapp and Susan Horvat assembled the January Hobby-Themed Baskets, and the drawing was held on January 28.
The February “Coffee, Chocolate and Cozy Comforts” baskets will be on display in the library throughout February. The drawing is tentatively scheduled for February 25 at 3 pm. It will also be shown live on RADL’s Facebook page. Winners do not have to be present to win.
Membership to the Friends of RADL is open to everyone. Annual dues are $5.
