Please support the Junction City Garden Club. They do a lot for the community. These plants are really full now. Adding a piece of decoration adds a little whimsical to the baskets.

Happy Holidays from the Harrisburg Library Guild!
The Harrisburg Library Guild is a local non-profit organization that works hard to raise funds for a new, larger library and community center for citizens in Harrisburg and the surrounding communities. You will likely recognize our organization from attending our events in the past, or from your patronage at our local library. We are a member of the Tri-County Chamber of Commerce; and feel it’s important to support the businesses in our communities.
We were thrilled by the remodel of the Harrisburg Public Library, which reopened this November. It has a little additional space, plus new shelving and room for the collection and patrons. However, that only fulfills a short-term goal. A community our size should have a Library that is over 3,500 sq. ft.! In addition, there needs to be more space and equipment for our patrons, as well as all the additional Library Programs that the Library Board and City are now funding.
Therefore, we are especially excited to announce that the City has purchased the former Nixon property, located right next to City Hall by the river, to be the future home of the Harrisburg Public Library and Community Center! The City and HRA Board/City Council support a new library/community building and in addition to the purchase price of the property, have set aside $150,000 in future funds to support this effort. However, the City is not able to fully fund a new building.
The Guild, at the heart of its non-profit mission, is therefore helping to raise the additional funds needed to fund a new Library/Community Center. The Guild holds several fund-raisers a year, making steady progress towards our goal of $1.113 million. We invite you to join us at our Sweetheart Tea scheduled for February 15, 2020, and our annual Silent Auction at Bennett Winery later in the year. However, we have been told by major grant donors that we must show ‘Outstanding Support’ from the community, in order to successfully apply for grants that will give our City the resources it needs.

Good Afternoon HLG friends & family! We are so looking forward to our Harvest Tea event tomorrow afternoon, and hope you will be joining us.

There are still 19 tickets left. Please remember, they are $5 cheaper if you purchase or reserve them today; but they will be available tomorrow as well, until we sell out. Joining us is our guest speaker & author, Linda Van Orden, who will be talking about her recent book, 'Memories of the 20th Century'. (Learn some fun facts about our local region!) She will have her book for sale at the tea if you are looking for some early Christmas presents! There will be door prizes, and of course, you'll get to see who wins the coveted best table prize.

We've been hard at work baking, mixing, and otherwise getting our scrumptious food ready for tomorrow. Here's a sneak peek at the menu below:

First Course: Scones, Home Made Devonshire Cream, Apple Pear Bread, and Lemon Thyme Muffins
Second Course: Cucumber Tea Finger Sandwiches, Bow Tie Pasta Salad and Cheddar Biscuits
Third Course: Gingerbread Cookie Cups with Pumpkin Cheesecake Filling, Chocolate Raspberry Bars, and Sugar Cookies.

We hope you can join us tomorrow!

Cheers!

Our Harrisburg Library Guild Tea will be held on November 10th at 2:00 pm. .If anyone is interested in hosting a table, please let us know. Hosting gets you free entry into the event. We supply the tables and chairs, you supply the decorations & dishes for your table. We also ask that you try to sell the tickets for the places at your table; after all, it's likely that your friends and family will want to sit with you!

The events are a lot of fun, and you help out with a great cause...this is our biggest fundraiser for the Capital Campaign each year!

Thank you to everyone that came to our Spring Fling Fundraiser at Bennett Vineyards. The weather was beautiful and everyone had a good time. Your support for our effort to get a new Library in Harrisburg is very much appreciated. Without all of your support we would not have gotten this far. We raised $2730.00

05/15/2018

Have you picked up your Spring Fling ticket yet? If not, please make sure that you contact Marilyn Pollard @ 541-514-9897, or Michele Eldridge at City Hall (541-995-2239), to get yours! Tickets are only $5.

We are thanking all of you who have been so generous in the past. If you've been a hostess at past events, or are a donor or sponsor, then you get in free...but you need to let us know you are coming and RSVP! (We have room for 104 people, so those who show up to purchase tickets at the event, could be shut out depending upon ticket sales this week!)

Food that will be served at our event (and is included with your ticket):
Ham & Dill Pickle (or Green Onion) Appetizers
Garden Gazpacho
Fruit, Crackers & Cheese
Chips & Salsa
A fabulous dessert (Would we let you down?)
Lemonade or Water

We have great silent auction baskets, the wine wall, and a beer pull, and we will even have some door prizes! Hope you can join us!

Library Guild members are working hard today on putting together our silent auction baskets, and getting all the wine donations wrapped up and ready for the wine wall. Thanks to everyone who has donated so far! We welcome donations of silent auction items, wine, and beer (don't forget that we have added a beer 'table' to our event). We can take donations all the way up to the day of our event!

Hi to all of you wonderful supporters of the Harrisburg Library Guild! We've got two things to share with everyone.
1. Our meeting nights have changed, to better accommodate some of our members. We meet on the second Thursday of each month, at 6:30 at night. We generally meet at the clubhouse in Springbrook Mobile Home Park. If you'd like more information, please let us know.
2. We have been talking about some fundraising events for this year. A non-event we might be interested in is the sale of t-shirts with our cute little purple owl logo. Would you be interested in purchasing one if we ran that promotion? Let us know!
