To the Readers’ Forum:

Come help the James Prendergast Library and support local artists at the same time.

An exciting new community event will take place from 6:30 to 9 p.m. Saturday, October 15, at Prendergast Library, and I encourage all area residents to attend.

The library is trying something new – an auction featuring the work of local artists, many of whom have exhibited in our gallery over the years. Many talented individuals have contributed pieces to be sold for the benefit of the library.

From 6:30 to 7:30 p.m., ticketholders will enjoy music by Davis and Eng, hors d’oeuvres and sweets, beer and wine and an opportunity to browse items to be sold. Auctioneer Lee Davies will open the bidding at 7:30. Winning bidders are asked to take their items home that evening.

Tickets at $30 each are available at the library’s Circulation Desk or online at prendergastlibrary.org. An online catalog will be posted, and a printed catalog will be distributed at the auction.

We hope you will help us make this inaugural local art auction fundraiser a success. Buy your tickets today!

Sincerely,

R. Thomas Rankin

President,

Prendergast Library Board of Trustees
