‘Dinner in the Library’ fundraiser May 22 in the Cultural Center
The Steering Group and Friends of the Seaford Library are putting the finishing touches on plans for their 1st annual “Dinner in the Library,” scheduled for the evening of Saturday, May 22, in the Cultural Center of the library. Music by the Medics will greet guests in the foyer, and continue throughout the evening for listening and dancing pleasure. The gala will begin with cocktails and hors d’oeuvres from 6 to 7 p.m., during which time items will be on display for the silent auction. A dinner catered by The Georgia House will be served at 7 p.m. in the Meeting Room, with a cash bar in the Exhibit Room, open both during and after dinner. After dinner, author Nancy E. Lynch will speak about her book “Vietnam Mailbag, Voices from the War, 1968-1972”. As a young reporter, Lynch relayed the hopes and fears, the joy and tears of hundreds of soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines from Delaware through the Vietnam Mailbag column she wrote in the Wilmington Morning News. Forty years after she began writing her column, Nancy incorporated those letters into her book, which gives a new generation a fresh look at the first-person accounts of troops in the combat zone. The results of the silent auction will be announced after Lynch’s presentation, while music for dancing continues in the foyer. The cost for the evening is $75, $45 of which is considered a charitable donation to the library. Proceeds of the auction will go toward the construction fund. For tickets and more information, contact Betty Wilbanks at 629-2466.
