Million Pennies Campaign raises $68.50 in May 2011!

Milligan College Library is proud to announce that you, our loyal library users, contributed $68.50 in cash and change to our Million Pennies Campaign in May 2011. We have now raised $3,149.56 since the start of the campaign in April 2010, which means we’ve exceeded 30% of our goal!

The Library staff would like to extend a hearty thank you to our May donors: Ermias Mekonnen, Tommy Parker, Alan Stengel, Brennan Seth Tracy, and Bob Wetzel. Remember, if you’d like us to thank you by name, please write your name down on the slips of paper in the tray next to the donation box, and we’ll let everyone know about your generosity!

Dr. Bob Wetzel is the winner of our monthly drawing. He will receive the hardcover The World Without Us by Alan Weisman. Congratulations, Dr. Wetzel!

The next prize is the paperback Tender at the Bone by Ruth Reichl. Donate to the campaign, write your name on a slip of paper, and place it in the box. On August 1st (during the lazy summer we’re combining June-July) we’ll draw a winner from the names in the box!

We still need your help in raising funds to help us reach our goal of a totally renovated library. Bring your loose change and help us get closer to $10,000. Remember, when we raise the money, we’ll allow you, the contributors, to name a study room whatever you like. Every penny helps!
