Friends of the Ramona Library (FORL)

April 2023 Newsletter

President's Message

Happy Spring and happy Easter! And with the Spring comes our scholarship awards to Ramona area high school students. Because of very generous donors, we are happy to award more scholarships this year. Welcome to our new lifetime member, Princess Norman. Becoming a lifetime member shows a real commitment to the library, especially since Princess is also an active board member. To make this commitment, visit our website: friendsoframonalibrary.org.

One way you can help us is to renew your membership and ask your friends and family if they’d like to join us in our important work of supporting our library. Even better -- would you like to volunteer to help with special programs or to work in the Open Book? The bookstore is our major fundraiser with Amazon sales a close second. If so, our email is: friendsoframonalibrary@gmail.com. Also, if there’s a program or activity you’d like to attend, let us know. We’re always looking for new ideas about fun things to do.

Sincerely,

Maxine McNamara

President
