Thank You, Leaves of Class Donors and Supporters!
Normally at this time of year we are beginning to advertise and sell our annual raffle tickets to the Ann Moskovitz Leaves of Class Raffle benefiting the Friends of the Weinberg Memorial Library. However, due to Covid-19, the precautions in place to keep everyone safe, and the financial difficulties facing many local businesses, we felt it was not the time to solicit donations from our community. Instead, we would like to thank our donors, sponsors and supporters! If you normally purchase a Leaves of Class raffle as a gift for for yourself, please consider supporting our donors directly with a gift, gift card, or purchase! If you would like to continue to support the Friends of the Library, consider joining the Friends by visiting our website!
Thank you for your continued support and we hope for a better outlook in 2021!
