Love Your Library
Basket Extravaganza
The Friends of the Youngsville Library's Third Annual "Love Your Library" Basket Extravaganza fundraising event is going on now through March 18th. For a $5 donation, participants will receive 10 tickets to be used toward the 8 uniquely themed baskets which are on display at the library.
The baskets will be given away in a "Chinese auction" manner and the names of the 8 winners will be drawn on March 18th. All the "Basket Extravaganza" ticket donations will directly benefit the Youngsville Public Library. "This has become the second major fundraiser for the Library after the September Book Sale. For this year the Friends of the Library created 8 uniquely themed baskets.
Each basket has a minimum value of $75 but most baskets are valued far above that," stated Library Director Kristy Wallace. "What makes this fundraising event so great is that there is a wide variety of high-quality baskets for people with all areas of interest. Also people have the opportunity to decide which basket or baskets interest them and can distribute their tickets accordingly.
So if you're lucky enough to win, you win something you wanted. We are also very grateful to all the businesses that have either donated specific items or gift certificates or as is the case of West Penn Oil Co. Inc. sponsored an entire basket. Without the help of Richards, Mugs Cafe, Dick's service center, Weidner's Deli, The Black Cat, The Galley, Youngsville Agway, Pete's Beverage, Outlet City, Youngsville Barnhart Davis, PVI, West Penn Oil Co., Inc., Tammy's Hairitage, and Sue's Beauty Salon the Friends wouldn't have been able to offer so many items per basket. Josie Gerardi and Pete Trask are donating homemade goodies and Peggy Olson donated a large, hand-crocheted afghan. Baskets themes include "Gift Card Tree", "Lottery Tree", "Garden Basket w/stepping stone", "Kitchen Basket", "A Cheese, crackers, & 'beverage' Basket", "Great for Guys", "Ladies Basket", and "Dinner & a Movie Basket" that has a $40 Applebee's card, $20 Dipson theater card, and a DVD." Tickets are available at the Youngsville Library during business hours and from members of the Friends or Library Board. Business hours are Monday-Tuesday, noon to 7:30 p.m., Wednesday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Friday, noon to 4 p.m. Call 563-7670 for additional information.
