Fund Raising

Important Note about the Fundraising Effort at the Darien Library:

A message from Jeanne Yurman:

"My name is Jeanne Yurman and I am on the Spring fundraising committee for the Darien Library.  I am reaching out to you on behalf of the committee to seek your help with an upcoming raffle to raise money for the new library.  

As a twist to usual ticket sales we are seeking at least one volunteer per selling location to dress up as a literary character.  We need volunteers to fill two-hour shifts here in town on Saturday, April 25th and Saturday, May 2nd.  The shifts would be 10 a.m.-2 p.m. and noon-2 p.m..  (At one location there are 11 a.m.-1 p.m. and 2-4 p.m. shifts.)  

Below is a list of possible characters though we are wide open to suggestions.  If you have another idea we ask only that the character be identifiable and that you be able to supply the costume.

We are hopeful that many of you can help.  The library relies very heavily on donations such as those raised by this raffle and the cause is one that benefits everyone in town. 

Please email me directly if you'd like to get involved and indicate which day and time you can volunteer.  Thank you!
