Friends of the Sheep River Community Library Foundation got a big boost on November 24th, as RBC Bank in Turner Valley donated $5,000 to the organization in support of educational programming.
“RBC is committed to supporting endeavors that empower organizations to make a difference and inspire others,” says RBC Branch Manager Kathy Gallant. “Education is one of our focuses for 2010 and 2011 for charitable giving. The library will use it in such a wonderful way, educating children, youth and adults.”
“We're trying to accumulate as much money as we can before the end of November,” says Diane Osberg, Chair of the Sheep River Library Board. “We're applying for a Community Initiatives grant and will receive matching funds through the grant.”
“This donation is a big help specifically to support literacy programming at the library,” says Holly Quan, President of the Friends of the Sheep River Library Foundation, the fundraising arm of Sheep River Library. “Thanks to RBC for stepping up and supporting the community.”
The new Sheep River Library building currently under construction in Turner Valley is scheduled to be “substantially completed” by March 31st, 2011.
