The Friends of the Southborough Library are holding a special fundraiser this month. The Old Fashioned Covered Dish Dinner will take place after Library hours on Monday, October 24th.
Funds from this evening will allow the Friends to continue to grow the list of programs, authors, guest speakers and complimentary passes to area museums and attractions that enrich our community life.
The event is geared to bring together adults in a fun, social setting to support the library. (Kids aren’t banned. But, the Children’s Room will be closed and no entertainment is planned for kids.)
It’s a potluck, so each attendee/family is requested to bring a dish. (People whose last names start with A through L are asked to bring an appetizer, salad or side dish and those whose last names start with M through Z are asked to bring a main dish or dessert. Each dish should be large enough to feed at least 8 people.)
Beverages, paper goods and musical entertainment will be provided by the Friends.
Participants are asked to donate $5 per person. (It’s also a good opportunity to join the Friends or renew your membership.)
If you plan to participate – please register, and let them know the type of dish (appetizer, salad, side dish, main dish or dessert) you plan to bring. Also include your contact information (email, text or phone). Sign up by emailing skiess2@verizon.net, calling Sandy Kiess at 508-494-5034 or filling out registration forms available at the Library.
For more information about this program the public may call the Library at 508-485-5031.
Updated (10/13/16 5:19 pm): I forgot to include the time of the event! It takes place from 6:00 – 8:30 pm that Monday night.
