The Friends of the Milford Library held their annual meeting and thank you party Jan. 27 in the program room of the Milford Public Library. The room was filled with approximately 50 members in attendance.
FOML voted in new leadership, including president Pam Pilla and vice-president of membership Margaret Downey. Both will serve two-year terms. Ashley Volkens was introduced as the chair of the October 2019 Party in the Stacks. The theme of the event will be “Party in the Stacks Goes Hot Pop Culture.”
Outgoing president Anne Bolin presented an award to Linda Sheehan, committee chair of the First Friday with Friends program, for going above and beyond in her service to the organization over many years.
Bolin also presented an award to Deanna Jacobs for her many volunteer hours with Party in the Stacks over the last three years and for hosting the FOML on a tour of Beardsley Zoo.
Outgoing vice president of membership Amy Bringardner presented the Community Supporter award to Rich Meyers of Sterling Printing & Graphics, who was not able to attend the meeting. Meyers and his company have helped FOML with printing of mugs, tote bags and banners for many initiatives. He was also a sponsor for the 2018 Party in the Stacks.
A large chocolate cake on a side table with the coffee featured the words “Thank You” in recognition of the outgoing leaders.
