A Library Charity Gala was held
on Thursday, June 27, 2013, sponsored by the Kysor family, for invited guests
interested in supporting the daily operation of the S. W. Smith Library. The well attended event was held at the VFW
Veteran’s Home. Dancing, dining, and
donations were included in the festive Black and White themed event. Credit is given to Kim Nelson, the Gala

The Pepke Generation Band provided big band music
for the 135 guests for the effort to raise funds for the S.W. Smith Library’s
daily operating costs. Members of the band hailed from Warren, Conneautville, Buffalo,
and Fredonia, NY. The Percussion player,
Jack “Sizzling” Bacon, is a current member of the Buffalo Philharmonic
Orchestra. Evening events included a limited
live auction, silent auction, wine tasting provided by Allegheny Cellars Winery
of Sheffield, PA, photography by Carrie and Jayson Przybyla from Roulette, PA, coffee
café’, and dessert shoppe. To date, the
event has raised $7200 for day to day library operations. Anyone wishing to add to the total can call
558-6118 to assist in the library costs.
Each year the costs of operating the library increase despite efforts to
control costs. As well, the state
government continues to decrease funding, placing a greater share of the burden
on local sources of revenue. Pam Fischer Photos
