HERMOSA BEACH FRIENDS OF THE LIBRARY
May 4, 1961
Dear Member:
Another message from the Friends of the Hermosa Beach Library!! Your new officers have assumed their duties smoothly and wish to report their progress to you.
First of all, our new library has not been forgotten! Even though the money set aside by our City Council for this project had to be used in an emergency, the availability of our "oil bonus money" is becoming more and more favorable. Our city fathers are still going ahead with the architectural plans. We hope it won't be long now.
Have you seen the patio furniture in the rear of the Library? We have an umbrella, table and four chairs -- blue and yellow, bright and pretty -- and two lovely planters. This is the result of our raffle last Christmas. Our thanks go to Helen Tracy, our Past President, for the furniture selection, and to the Garden Club for the planters. We are most appreciative. So, come, relax and enjoy the sunshine or shade while you leaf through your new book or magazine. We are asking that this retreat be reserved for adults -- especially the senior citizens.
To show off our new patio, we are having an informal "Coffee". This will be the morning of May 17 at 10:30. We hope you will all come.
We are sending this letter to all our old members too -- to remind them that dues are past-due, hoping they will renew their memberships. If you can't attend our "coffee", stop at the Library to get your new card and see the refurbished patio.
We hope to see you on the 17th.
Sincerely,
Barbara Dennis, Secretary
