Friends of The Community Library Annual Basket Raffle Sept 20

COBLESKILL — The Friends of The Community Library in Cobleskill are gearing up for their biggest fundraiser of the year. Their annual basket raffle and used book sale provide funds to support many popular programs offered by The Community Library. Any individual, group, or business can join the fundraising effort by donating a basket of goodies and gifts to be raffled off on the big day. Contributors’ names will appear on their baskets.

Each donation will be based on a theme of the giver’s choice, needs to include at least one book, must be valued at a minimum of $50, and can be intended for children, families, or adults.

If the donor has no basket or other gift container, The Friends will be happy to provide an appropriate basket, organize the gifts, and wrap the whole basket. 

Please deliver the donated baskets/items to The Community Library by August 23. There the baskets will be displayed and raffle tickets will be sold from Tuesday, September 2 through Saturday, September 20. The day of the raffle ticket drawing is also the day of The Friends’ annual used book sale.

Anyone interested in contributing a  basket for the raffle is invited to pick up the “Basket Donation Form” during regular hours at The Community Library. Related questions can be directed to friendsofthecommunitylibrary@gmail.com or to (518) 365-6371.
