40th Anniversary Celebration
The fall of 2014 marks the 40th anniversary of the founding of our library. Note on your calendar to stop by the library on Saturday, September 20 to help us celebrate this milestone.
We're looking for volunteers for the following projects:
Library History Book: writer/editor
Quilters: sew squares for two quilts—one to hang in the library and one to raffle off
Those ‘70s duds...If you have clothing and/or accessories from the 1970's that you would like to donate to use on a mannequin or live model, please bring them to Second Edition. Be sure to leave the items with the store manager and let her know they are for the anniversary celebration. Thanks!
Planning meetings, open to anyone interested in helping, will be held on the first Tuesday of each month, at 1 pm in the upstairs meeting room at the Cedar Mill Library. Next meeting: April 1. If you would like to help but are not able to attend the meeting, please contact Dawn at 503-644-0043 ext. 121 or email dawna@wccls.org.
