4 The Dallas Post Back Mountain Library Auction Wednesday, July 8, 1992 sx > CHAIRING THE AUCTION - Auction co-chairman Bill Jones, left, chairperson Connie Scott and | finance committee chairman Patrick Bellardi, right, finalize plans for this year’s auction. (Post photo/ | Grace R. Dove) Connie Scott's goal as auction | chairperson is to organize a suc- | cessful event that will raise as much |_ money as possible for the library | and still be enjoyable for the entire | family. “The auction should be for | families as much as the library is,” | she said. “We want to maintain | many of the good old traditions | which people enjoy every year, | while adding new items to appeal to more youthful interests.” | Some new additions include live | entertainment, a country crafts - booth, a balloon vendor, kids’ face | painting, a baseball card stand and a display and sale of old-time photos of Wyoming Valley. Two oldies but goodies, the Back Mountain Women's Service Club's famous fudge and Welsh cookies made fresh at home by the Women of the Rotary also will return after a long absence. Having served as auction chair- person in 1990, Connie has found that her job is a bit easier this year in many ways, but the slow econ- omy has made some things more difficult. Working with many people who have served at previous auc- tions is certainly an asset. But the auction still requires the same Connie Scott chairs auction second time amount of hard work and the same deadlines for all involved. “The state of the economy and recent cuts in state funding for local libraries make community support of this valuble community resource especially important,” Connie said. “There is no way that the Back Mountain Memorial Library could survive without its volunteers and the support of the community. It’s a two-way street; we hope that people can in some way give back as much to the library as they receive from it.” What Goes With A Good Book?
