November 2008

Local Scholarship

Wednesday, November 19
7:00 - 8:30 pm

San Ramon Library @ The Marketplace

Come at 7:00 to choose and bid on your favorite items and then visit, shop the gift items, and snack before you check that no one has outbid you. “All is fair in love and war” fits for an auction: Outbid anyone! This is a fundraiser for Local Scholarship and is the main way we raise our money. The more money we raise, the more women and girls we can support.

Besides the auction, there will be vendors selling jewelry, prints, gourds, photo cards, and ikebana. All these vendors are members of our branch! We are a talented bunch! You will also be able to buy gently used books, and the Entertainment books will still be available.
