A Tisket, A Tasket Fundraiser Changes Location and Date

 

 ABINGDON, Va.   The Friends of the Washington County Public Library and the Washington County Public Library Foundation are jointly sponsoring the third annual “A Tisket, A Tasket, A Literary Basket” fundraiser at a new location this year and have scheduled it later in the spring. 

 For the last two years, the event had been held prior to Easter, but this year event organizers decided to hold it later in the season.  The silent auction event will be held this year from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. on Friday, May 6 at the Southwest Virginia Higher Education Center in Abingdon.

 You may help by sponsoring a basket which must include a book, with other items in the basket reflecting the theme of the book.  Those who would like to create a basket should call event co-chairs Susie Buckner at 276-676-2570 or Joyce Ferratt at 276-628-3273.  Basket items are tax deductible.

 Event tickets are $15.  The ticket price includes admission, hors d’oeuvres, wine, and new this year, dessert and coffee.  Tickets can be purchased beginning April 1 at the main library and any of its four branches located in Damascus , Hayters Gap, Mendota and Glade Spring.  Mark your calendars now so you will not miss this exciting opportunity.
