the Librarypalooza silent auction

2007 Library Lallapalooza & Book Bash

April 1 at the Annex art gallery, 2922 Parks Highway, 3 to 8 pm

The 2007 librarypalooza featured a lasagne feed, musical entertainment and a hat walk, with ongoing silent auctions. The auction is very important, as it generates most of the funds we raise. Your help will enable us to generate the money we need to build our new library!

Organizers: Margaret Rogers, 474-1694 or mfrogers100 [at] hotmail.com or Alice Stickney, bigalice [a t] gci.net.
