Trustees plan 'Library Social' fundraiser with live music, tapas and higher ticket price
Summary
The Montgomery Library Board rebranded its annual fundraiser as the "Library Social," set ticket prices at $30 and $50 per pair, identified an MC and a food lead, and scheduled marketing, donation and photography deadlines ahead of a June event.
The Montgomery Library Board of Trustees agreed to rebrand the library's annual fundraiser as a "Library Social," featuring live music, a silent auction and a raffle. Trustees discussed turning the event into a full evening with a tapas-style dinner, free wine and a cash bar for specialty cocktails; Jacob Racusin was identified as an enthusiastic potential MC and Tosca volunteered to lead dining presentation and plating.
Board members set ticketing at $30 per person and $50 for a pair and set scheduling targets: eight weeks of marketing lead time, a goal of having donations in hand by June 5, photography between June 5 and June 15, and opening big-ticket online bidding on Facebook starting June 15. Trustees planned a follow-up planning meeting on April 22 from 1–3 p.m. to refine logistics and marketing materials. Daniel Khan was assigned to draft the event poster and to develop a specialty cocktail menu; Carmen Nesbit was assigned to contact musicians and to prioritize affordable or donated performances for nonprofit pricing.
