Friends of the Drake Public Library May/June Newsletter

Friends received $1000.00 through a grant from Appanoose County United Way to further assist in the Children’s Summer Reading Program. This along with the $3000 grant received previously from Alliant Energy Foundation Community Grant, should cover all of the expenses for the 2016 SRP. Supporting Appanoose Co. United Way will insure their continued support for organizations such as ours.

Below is a lovely letter written to FDPL by Pat (Sanders) Petrides from Pat and her sister Martha Sanders who have been members and sponsors for several years. It is too good, not to share. Some of you have already read it but we have several members who do not use email.
