MMLF CAPITAL CAMPAIGN UPDATE
Dear Friends,
We are almost there! The Grand Opening of our new Library building is projected to be in late fall. Thanks to all of you, the Maplewood Memorial Library Foundation has reached our initial goal of raising $2 million for the “Writing a New Story” Capital Campaign.
If you have not joined the Campaign, there are still Naming Opportunities to choose from, including Adirondack chairs for the Terrace and several meeting rooms.
The Foundation is grateful to the community of Maplewood and our friends beyond who have donated to this Campaign. You have truly "built" this Library. To memorialize that support there will be a Book of Donors, prominently displayed, that will have the name of every person who has contributed to the Capital Campaign, no matter the amount.
The deadline to have your name inscribed in this Donor Book is December 31, 2024.
A donation of any size makes a difference. Your generosity and altruism is what makes
Maplewood so special.
Thank you,
R. Benjamin Cohen, President
