MEMORIAL LIBRARY FOUNDATION The Foundation was set up in 1986 to raise money, in a variety of ways, for the substantial funds needed for the Library extension then being undertaken. Still continuing the function of raising funds for the Library, the Foundation has as its current project the ongoing "Rainy Day Fund". The Chairman of the Foundation writes: Our goal of $25,000 for 1996 has nearly been reached. We are 70% of the way there and - with a little help from our friends and neighbours - Canada's busiest library should achieve 100% before the year is out. The West Vancouver Memorial Library is an integral part of our diverse and vibrant community. If you have not yet contributed to this year's fundraising campaign, we urge you to do so - join the other enthusiastic supporters of our fine facility to help maintain the standards of excellence we have been providing through the years. As a donor, you would "Leave your Mark" with recognition on the Library Donor Board in the front lobby. And, of course, all donations are tax deductible to the extent of the law. Some priority projects this year include: PC and Accessories to provide access to Internet and Freenet; electronic service providing articles on CD-ROM from hundreds of periodicals; reforbishing of the Elizabeth Musto Community Meeting Room. Christmas is on the horizon and our "Rainy Day Umbrellas" make a fashionably practical gift for friends, family or business associates. They come in several sizes, styles and great colours and are available at the Information Desk. For more information about giving opportunities, please call Jack Mounce at 925-7410. .../3
