Editor:
As President of the Friends of the Aldrich Public Library in Barre, I am happy to announce our 13th annual Winter Banquet and Auction to be held on February 1, 2014 at the Elks Club on Jefferson St. in Barre.
We are dedicating this dinner to the memory of our dear friend and chef, Chet Briggs. The dinner will be beef tenderloin (vegetarian option available). Cocktails at 5pm and dinner at 6pm. Following the dinner we will have our traditional silent and live auctions, with auctioneer, Dave Sanguinetti, returning this year.
As usual, all the proceeds from this event will go toward the purchase of books, recordings and the funding of library services and programs for all ages – children, young adults, and Senior Day Programs. The Friends also fund the Authors at the Aldrich event each summer.
New location, new menu, same great community event. For information and reservations call the library at 476-7550. Please join us and help support our wonderful library. We want to make this evening very special.
Christine Litchfield
President, Friends of the Aldrich Library
