WVT gift helps library

achieve fundraising goal WVT Communications recently put the Albert Wisner Public Library Foundation’s annual appeal over the top with a $2,000 donation. The appeal was launched in December with a matching challenge gift by Glenn P. and Susan D. Dickes of Warwick, who offered to give $1 for every $2 raised, up to $10,000 for $20,000 in donations. Although the appeal had never in its four-year history raised $20,000, people responded to the Dickes’ challenge with gifts totaling over $18,000. Duane Albro, WVT president, met with Glenn and Susan Dickes and foundation members Christine Stage and Carol Mezzetti to present the foundation with a check. To date, more than $30,000 has been collected to be used for library programs and services. Gifts are still welcome. To make a gift, visit the library’s Web site www.albertwisnerlibrary.org or call 986-1047.
