Weve noticed a number of people are registering for the January 26th CTLS membership meeting and/or the Love me Love my Books workshop, but not for the Friends of CTLS Fundraising Luncheon. If you can possibly afford to attend the luncheon, please do so. CTLS is required by the State Library to come up with $2,323 per year (outside of grant funds) for what are called unallowable costs (expenditures an auditor might say are not allowed by Federal or State accounting regulations. Our main source for these funds is you by your membership or your Friends contributions to Friends of CTLS and by your purchase of a ticket for this luncheon. While we have three corporate sponsors, their contributions will get us less than ½ the way to our goal. I know this is a difficult time of year to come up with $20 but believe me, we wouldnt ask if we didnt need it! And if you want to come to the luncheon, but cant afford the full cost, please e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] and let us know what you can afford to pay. We may be able to find someone to cover up to half of your $20 ticket. Please come it wont be the same without you there!
