SAVE THE DATE!
WATCH YOUR MAIL

All ELFs will soon receive a special invitation to an “after library hours” Fall Festival on Friday, October 23rd, from 6-8 pm.  This will give all ELFs a chance to meet the other members.
There will be refreshments by A Catered Affair, special music by a string group from EHS, and a get-acquainted activity with fall prizes for everyone.
Mark the date on your calendar now and watch for your invitation with ticket enclosed.  RSVP as indicated.

HOLIDAY GIFT-WRAPPING BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND
Our winter fund-raiser Holiday Gift Wrapping is coming in December.  We will be looking for volunteers for this event.  Look for a sign-up sheet posted in Carnegie’s.

WATCH FOR THESE SPECIALS
November will again see a box for donations to the Glen-Ed Food Pantry and December for donations to MEHS.  A free book from Carnegie’s is your reward.
Starting Thanksgiving week watch for a special display of children’s books, which make great Christmas presents.

TELESCOPES ARE HERE
The ELFs recently purchased 3 telescopes, 2 of which will be available for check-out.  This is in conjunction with SIUE and the ST Louis Astrological Society.  Training of staff is on-going now, with an outside “event” to come soon; then the scopes can be checked out following special procedures.

THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!
Thanks so much to all who helped with the band concerts, either by working inside on the Thursdays or helping at our concession stand night by working or providing “goodies.”  We made $162.68 in food and  $76.55 selling books.   THANKS!!!
