Events and Activities : TIE ON YOUR APRON! FUN & FUNDRAISING AT CP FRIENDS OF THE LIBRARY EVENT NOV 9th

The deviled eggs were in the details for the Center Point Friends of the Library at its regular meeting October 3 at the Library.

The group made specific plans for its fall fund raiser, “A Taste in Time,” Saturday, November 9 from 9 to 1 in the Library basement. It will be a tasting party and a cookbook sale. There will be hands on cooking classes for kids and an apron display. Vintage salt and pepper shakers will also be for sale. Admission is $5, but if you wear an apron you get in for $4.

Friends and friends of Friends will be making sweet and savory finger foods and snacks for tasting. Bite-size pecan pies and people-pleasing deviled eggs are among the items on the tasting menu. Recipes will accompany each of the tasting items.

Many of the cookbooks have been donated by Friends member Kim Schantz, who is also providing the aprons for display. The salt and pepper shaker collection from the 1940s, ‘50s and ‘60s was donated by Evelyn Roseberry of Center Point.

Cooking classes for kids will be at 10:00, 11:00, and noon. Friends member, gourmet cook and former restaurant-runner Dorothea Wood will be the teacher.

In other business, the group discussed the Library addition fund raising drive. Friends has pledged $35,000 over the three-year project so far.

Friends president and vice president, Christina Lahr and Marj Pepin, will have an information and sales table for the building project and Friends at the 4-H craft show at the new high school Saturday Oct. 19 from 9 to 1. Christina reported the 4-Hers plan to donate a portion of their proceeds from the show to the Library building project.
