Please everyone knows that the proceeds of this fundraiser will go to the giant lazer beam gun that the Friends are building on the surface of the moon so they can hold Planet Earth for ransom.

Just kidding, this sounds like a wonderful event hope everyone attends, thank goodness for a fine organization like this that carries on even when our select-clowns spend all of their time for some strange reason trying to stomp them out.  Thank goodness too for people like Nora who dare to speak the truth!

Nora,
I for one will send an email to everyone in my address book that are within driving distance. Hopefully anyone else reading this will do the same and we can promote a good turnout for the Friends.
Having lived in Wareham for so many years, I am appalled and disgusted by this attempt to defame and characterize as evil this group of people who are and have been the only ones willing to step up to the plate and give their time to raise funds to buys books and other things that the library needs.

The Friends are no different than the Town Democratic committee, who supports Democratic politicians and raises money for their campaigns. The Friends are no diffeerent than the Friends of the Elderly who are there to raise funds to help the COA. The Friends of the Library are no different than the new "arts" group that istrying to raise funds for various entities. They are no different than any other organization in town established as a private non-profit to raise funds for a specific purpose. Except, that the Friends of the Library have been successful enough to contribute generously and they have been able to do that because the make up of the organization consists of good people who are willing to be there day after day, week after week, year after year.

Just because the Friends of the Libaray has been successful, is that any reason to be jealous and to attack them? I know many of the Friends members from either working with them on other fund raising efforts they have also given their  time to, for the school when our kids were there; or I know them from Church, or from just being a neighbor. They are decent, honest, caring, kind, considerate and have made it a point to donate thier time for the good of the town.  I'm tired of these defamatory accusations and I for one will be there to buy dinner. In fact, I'll bring some friends.

Thank you Nora, for sharing all your information with us. I'm sure this is all consuming and stressful and that you'd much rather just walk away from it and let the chips fall where they may, but to hold steadfast and not let this characterization take hold is a tribute to the kind of person you are and have been over the years, as a person who has taken time to give much to this community.

I have cookie dough under my nails and covered in flour. I promise to clean up before tomorrow!

Who is it?

Actually Nora gave us  the name herself in the first sentence of her post.....  It was Minnie Mouse's sister , Anony.    That gal has done a lot for this town.

Gave my money directly to the Friends tonight! Great time at Cosi's!!

Many thanks to everyone who came out in the rain to support us!!! The food was good and the company was exceptional! We don't have the final tally from Cosi's yet, but they said we did well. We also did very well on our raffle, our membership and our cookbook sales. It was definitely a success!!

Anyone who tries to raise money for a non-profit knows that every penny counts. The Friends are grateful to our supporters. We wish you all a very Happy Holiday season.

May 2010 be a better year for the world and for Wareham!!!
