Friends of the Library Holiday Fundraisers

 

 

Evergreen Wreath Fundraiser

 

Now through November 10th....
Pre-order your Evergreen Wreath and it’s one thing off your Holiday To-Do List! 
You’ll be supporting all 3 Parsippany libraries and a local garden center as well!                  It’s a win-win for all of us!!
 
Made just 5 days before pickup, these wreaths will remain fresh throughout the season. A 22” door size wreath of Frazier Fir with a cheerful bow will ward off those wintry skies! And 100% of the profits will go towards library programs for children and adults.
 
Just complete the order form, attach a check for $25 and drop off your order at any library branch, or mail to: Friends of the Library, 449 Halsey Rd., Parsippany, NJ 07054 to be received by Nov.10.
 
Then pick up your wreath at the Main Library on Friday Nov.29th from 10am - 2pm.
