Fundraising Success and a Couple of Bright Spots

Brandi and I enjoyed our time this morning at the KABA Inspire leadership event. The KBA Foundation pledged $2,000, one of the speakers announced a $2,000 match and a third speaker announced a $5,000 match, so we walked away with $9,000 toward the new Uptown Children's Library! Plus a really inspiring promo video of the project is now in our toolkit, thanks to KABA. I'll share that short video as soon as we get a copy. All of the glory goes to Brandi who arranged for the library project to be announced at the event and worked hard to line up all the pieces that made our morning so successful. Brandi, you're a Bright Spot every week, but this week you hit it out of the ballpark!


More Bright Spot nominations from Marcia: "I would like to nominate Heather and Jessica from YFS and planning and executing an absolutely delightful family program 'Novels & Nosh' last night at Somers Elementary. It was so lovely to see families interacting together and to see such excitement over the books chosen for each. I went along to do circulation duties and issue cards, we had 155 checkouts and 9 new cards."
