HFL CAPITAL CAMPAIGN EVENT

The HFL capital campaign is well underway. Aimed at providing the funds needed to repair our 130-year-old slate roof, upgrade our antiquated heating system and install a much-needed cooling system, as well as a number of other projects, the campaign welcomes contributions of whatever amount -- it all helps! Checks should be made out to Help the Hubbard.

And here's a way to contribute and have fun in the bargain. Monday, Aug. 2, 5-8 p.m. at Hallowell's newest restaurant, Club 223, at 223 Water St. All-you-can-eat pizza buffet, free soda, music by Dave McGinnes, kids welcome. Donations of $15 per adult are requested; kids are free; all proceeds go to the library's capital campaign. Our thanks to Club 223's owner, Roger Pomerleau, for making this event possible.
