Astoria Oregon Public Library Foundation Benefit Night - Astoria
Astorians will gather at Fort George Brewery + Public House to support the efforts of the Astoria Oregon Public Library Foundation and the Astor Library Staff. The benefit night, hosted by Fort George, is a free public event and includes some fantastic gift baskets for a silent auction.
Former Mayor Arline LaMear and other board members will be on hand to speak with interested community members at the event, about our fundraising efforts, historical and proposed design displays and updates on progress. Guests will have the opportunity to bid on an array of handpicked and carefully curated silent auction baskets, each with a distinct theme, and each graciously made possible by the generous individuals and businesses in our community.
In addition to honoring the history of the Library and the hard work of the community thus far, the Fort George benefit night is one of several key events encouraging ongoing community participation and support for the Astoria Library Foundation’s campaign to raise $3.5 million for the renovation of the library. Community-based fundraisers will be critical to the effort to upgrade the 1967 building to meet current and future library users’ needs.
The Astoria Library Foundation is a nonprofit, community-based organization with the mission to raise resources to support the Astoria Public Library. Working with local leaders and volunteers, the Foundation Board and Staff are excited to share progress and answer questions about the library renovation.
