The Mont Vernon Library Charitable Foundation board launched the public phase of the Library Capital Campaign under the library event tent on Friday, May 13th surrounded by new library project supporters. Invited guests enjoyed a glass of champagne and desserts at sunset on a beautiful evening and toasted to the success of the fundraising efforts. President, Cindy Raspiller shared the good news of the NEH grant and unveiled the official fundraising thermometer created by local artist Jill Weber. The custom made sign measures the generous donations already made by Sherri Conyers, the Sophia G. Daland Trust, the Friends of the Library, the Leaf Donors and the hundreds of donations made to push the thermometer up to over half raised. The large sign will be installed in front of the Daland Memorial Library as a visual reminder of the fundraising efforts. As donations continue to be collected, the thermometer is sure to rise. The Time is Now! To make a donation to the project, click on the donate button on the home page of the MVLCF website for mailing or online payment information. Thank you donors!!
