Daly City library supporters announce Saint Patrick’s luncheon, celebrate Youth Poet Laureate's regional win
Summary
Daly City Public Library Associates (DCPLA) announced the 13th annual Saint Patrick’s Day luncheon and fundraising 'fund the need' projects, and celebrated Chloe Chu advancing from state to regional youth poet laureate competition and moving on to the national contest in April.
Bernie Badalas, speaking for the Daly City Public Library Associates, told trustees on Feb. 17 that invitations for the 13th annual Saint Patrick’s Day luncheon have been mailed and that the DCPLA will again raise funds for selected 'fund the need' library projects.
Badalas also announced that Chloe Chu, who served as Daly City Youth Poet Laureate for 2022–23, won a regional selection and will travel to Omaha in April to participate in the national Youth Poet Laureate competition. Badalas said DCPLA leaders and the library’s executive director planned to attend in support of Chu, and that finalists would participate in school workshops and perform at the new Omaha library celebration.
On fundraising logistics, Badalas said the luncheon is an opportunity to gather supporters and to promote patron-led giving projects; trustees discussed preprinting surveys and using the Saint Patrick’s Day event to solicit more responses to a community-driven giving survey.
Badalas also encouraged trustees to spread word-of-mouth and local social-media promotion; DCPLA suggested the youth-poet organization and local school districts could assist with publicity.
