The Daly City Public Library Associates has been doing our best to rise to the challenges facing us during this pandemic. While unable to hold our fundraising events in person, we’ve found other ways to continue our mission to support our Daly City Public Libraries through fundraising and community outreach.
While it was disappointing to cancel our St. Patrick’s Day Luncheon, we modified the event by expanding the raffle to include more prizes and moved the drawing online. We are very appreciative of the many donations we received from our donors, sponsors and members, and feel that our virtual event was a great success!
The Board of Directors of the Daly City Public Library Associates would like to sincerely thank all of the donors, sponsors, and members who contributed to our St. Patrick’s Day Fundraiser! It may be June, but it’s never too late to celebrate, and one of the few constants during this pandemic is DCPLA’s ongoing mission to support our Daly City Public Libraries.
Our sheltered-in-place raffle drawing was held on June 20th in my backyard with the help of my two daughters, Lila and Eden. Check out the video YouTube to see if you won any of these great raffle prizes:
