pARTy in the Library Raises over $10,000

~By Friends of the Scotts Valley Library

Visitors to the ‘Friends of the Scotts Valley library’ fundraiser had a sweet time as they had the opportunity to enjoy fine chocolates, sip champagne and take home incredible artwork from local artists. The “pARTy in the Library” reaped the library over $10,000 from the 220 attendees at the event. The proceeds will be used to fund the new Scotts Valley library patio, now in progress.

The Friends of the Scotts Valley Library would like to thank the many community participants that made all of this possible:

• Our sponsor Modern Woodmen Fraternal Financial
• Leo’s U-Save Liquors for their donations and perfect wine selection
• Business With Pleasure for their quality work and responsiveness
• Council members, librarians and ‘Friends of the Scotts Valley’ volunteers
• Donnelley Chocolates, Lulas Chocolates, Ashby Confections, Xocai Antioxidant Chocolates and Chocolate Visions
• Local businesses Annie Glass, Lundberg Studios, Scarborough Gardens, Ivy’s Porch, Trader Joes, Mike Keogh and Legend Theatrical
• Sebastian Smith for creating the event artwork
• So many generous artists, many of whom you can visit at Open Studios this month:
