The Dansville Public Library is the recipient of a $500 donation from the New York State Festival of Balloons. The Festival Committee selected the Dansville Public Library, along with other community charities, to benefit from the proceeds of this year’s annual Festival. The Awards Ceremony was held at the Dansville Ambulance Garage on the evening of November 14.
‘Our operating philosophy is to first ensure the funding is in place for next year’s Festival, then to share the profit with a designated primary charity and other deserving charities and local organizations,’ said Mary Ann Holden, President of the 2007 Festival Committee. ‘Recently we began a reception to present the charities with their funds. It had the additional benefit of connecting local charities with each other to share information.’
The Dansville Ambulance and the Dansville Fire Department were this year’s designated primary recipients.
