NEXT FRIENDS MEETING Oct. 17, 2023

The Friends of the Curry Public Library's next meeting will be on Tuesday, October 17, 2023, at 9:00 a.m. in the meeting hall in the library. We will hear a recap about the "Month-Long Silent Auction," and the "Just Desserts" dessert auction. We will spend the bulk of the time discussing the Friends' participation in the community "Trunk or Treat," a kids' Halloween event on October 31st, and the Friends upcoming "Holiday Better Books & Bake Sale," that will be held in the library lobby on November 17th & 18th. We will need volunteers to set up and work the book sale, and also bake holiday goodies for the bake sale portion of the sale.

Please watch for an email message on Sunday, October 15th from Friends' President, Dianne Daniels, with attachments: (1) agenda for the upcoming meeting, and (2) minutes from September 19th meeting.

Our generous

Champions

Over the years, the Gold Beach community has been very generous to Curry Public Library and to the Friends of the Library. Between 2004 and 2008, major fundraising efforts raised over $400,000 in donations from generous community members, and the proceeds from fifty-seven local fundraising events. The Friends of the Library also applied for and received $533,000 in grants from seven major Oregon foundations. Since the completion of the new library, we have received three very generous bequests... $1,200,000 from Harald Haug; $305,000 from Charles Rouse; and $50,000 from Cliff and Maxine Yadon. The following is a compilation of all donations (total per person/family) received by both the Friends of Curry Public Library and the Curry Public Library since January 2004.
