Friends of Jensen Memorial Library

Oh my gosh -- look how long it's been since the last post!

I'm sorry about that -- anyone who had been following our blog has probably gotten bored and wandered away weeks ago......

However, this does give me lots to talk about. :)

We've been busy with the "Little Friends" calendar -- the 2010 Calendar put out by the Friends of the Library as our major fund-raiser for this year. It's full of terribly cute pictures of children from right here in Minden, and it's only $12.95 which includes the sales tax. Stop by the library and check it out!

This was a huge project for us, but we had so much help, it was easier than I thought it would be. Everyone was very generous, including the advertisers, who made it possible for us to afford the printing costs.  We'll have a complete list of them here later.  Susan Fries donated her time (and pictures) to us and we thank her very much for that.  Ellen Burchell did the picture layouts and they look fabulous!  Fifth Street Printing did their usual excellent work.  And to the Friends members who scurried around doing all the necessary tasks and errands as they came up -- thank you so much!

The Raffle went off without a hitch!  We are so pleased with the support from the community -- not only from the businesses that donated the great prizes, but from everyone who bought tickets.  The winners were Reina Hernandez, Kim Mellman, and Mary Lutkemeier.  I think we should do it again next year!

We had a movie night last weekend which was very well attended; we're still learning how to run the silly popcorn maker, so we were late with the popcorn AGAIN.  Urgh.  We'll get it in time the next time --  which is Dec. 6.  We didn't remember when we chose that date that there would be a conflict with the Pageant; so we'll be starting the movie earlier, at 3:00. 

Night at the Museum 2!

It should be a good one -- don't miss it!
