Capital Campaign Kick-Off Event - July 19, 2010

As a member of the Capital Campaign Steering Committee, I am extremely happy with the success of our Kick-Off Event. The enthusiasm of those attending is very encouraging and makes me proud to be able to contribute my time and resources to this Greencastle-Antrim community enhancement project.

Capital Campaign

After many months of preparation, the Besore Board is announcing a capital campaign to raise funds for the renovation and expansion of the library. In order to do this they have enlisted the help of a number of community members. The Besore Friends, as well as the newly formed Capital Campaign Committee will partnership with the Board Besore in this effort.

Capital Campaign members are Amelia Kasinof, Tom Pensigner, Becky Mercado, Frank Klink, Tio Paci, Wayne Baumbaugh, Patti Divelbiss, Bud O'Mara, and Kay Witmer. P.J. Wertime is the honorary chair of the committee.

Moving Forward

Isn't that drawing to the side of this blog just awesome?

After diligently looking at all the options, The Lilian S. Besore Memorial Library Association has agreed on a building renovation plan to meet the needs of the community. This plan will continue the legacy which was started almost 50 years ago when Calvin Besore gave funds to begin a library in Greencastle. I don't want to share too much just yet, but soon you will find details of the plan on this blog. Meanwhile, the Besore Board and Friends are busy working together to get you the information you need and to find individuals who are willing to donate funds which will move the project to completion. If you would like to help with this project, give the library a call at 717-597-7920.
