After Hours Business Event to Launch the NEW Library Foundation Business Partnership Program
Friday, June 18 @ 4:30 PM
205 S. Central Avenue - upstairs
Medford

The Library Foundation is hosting an After Hours Business Event on Friday, June 18 at 4:30pm in the Medford Branch Library. 

We are quite proud to announce that the Oldtown Dining and and Entertainment Group, our founding Business Partner, has extended thier partnership and celebration of library support to our guests:  Four members of that group are offering $1 to the Foundation for every $10 spent in thier establishment: Elements, Porters, Habaneros and Jackson Creek Pizza.  The Group made a healthy contribution and will continue to add restaurants to the list of participants.

Four Daughters Irish Pub has donated discount coupons to the event as well.

It's incredible! We are thrilled! The local down town business community has stepped up and helped achieve exactly what we wanted -- they are our first example of broad and creative support of the Libraries.

The Library Foundation and staff have discussed opportunities to connect library users with the local businesses. In the Foundation's case, we've been looking for ways to encourage the large audiences we've created with our Arts & Lecture Series to patronize local restaurants after our events.

We have also been developing our giving programs and publicity opportunities for sponsors and thus -- we created a new giving program called Business Partnership. This program offers publicity and public acknowledgement of businesses who support the Library Foundation on an annual basis. 
 
Would you please come to our launch and first After Hours gathering on June 18?   We've invited members of the Medford, Ashland, Talent, Eagle Point and Central Point Chambers, library staff and supporters from all 15 branches, and many more.
 
Hope to see you there!
