To the Editor,

The Friends of Ida Rupp Public Library board thanks all our Friends and guests who attended the Ice Cream Social on Tuesday, Sept. 7. A special thanks goes to those who made significant contributions, such as the local authors who shared their books and writing expertise: Marsha Bordner, Harold Brown, Donna Lueke, Rich Norgard and Patrick Lawrence O’Keeffe.

Also, thanks to Mary’s Blossom Shoppe for donating the balloons. Dr. Judi Horchler contributed a beautiful quilt of fall colors for our silent auction. And a big thank you to Dan and Tammy Almendinger of C. Nelson Manufacturing for the use of the ice cream freezer! Without all our Friends, this event would not be possible.

Our library is the best resource for our community, and we look forward to continuing our support for Ida Rupp Public Library, as well as Marblehead Peninsula and Erie Islands (Put-in-Bay) branches, throughout the year.

Sincerely,
Lynne Keller Kroeger, Past President
