WAITSBURG – Last week The Times wrote about the new fundraiser organized by the Waitsburg Friends of the Library. The Friends are soliciting donations from individuals, groups, and clubs to sponsor one month’s worth of library book purchases at $200. Thanks to generous donors the months of January and February have already been sponsored.

Friends of the Library president Karen Huwe asked for someone to match her initial $100 donation to cover the month of January and Laurie Richardson stepped up to that challenge. Next, the WHS National Honor Society chose to donate $200 of their potato bar proceeds to the library, covering the month of February.

Anyone wishing to sponsor a month (in memory of a loved one, perhaps) can contact Karen Huwe at (509) 386-6960.
