To the Swarthmorean Community:
The Helen Kate Furness Free Library’s 2019 May Fair celebration last weekend was a wonderful success, with great weather and even better volunteers, who pulled together to help the community celebrate spring. Special thanks go to:
Liz and Carey Corey brought the Media Fire Company
Connie Watson, Anne Hollyer and Judy Voet sold out at the plant sale
Heather Donofrio organized the sign-up genius and provided supplies
Henry Pearlberg and Nicholas Pignataro from the Wallingford-Swarthmore School District; Jared Reed and Owen Corey from Hedgerow brought performing arts to the library
Jen Stock balanced and helped with all the activities
Lori Friedgen-Veitch shared her generous spirit, and a drum!
Kaitlin Gurney got the bounce house (always a kid favorite)
Bob Siwicki and Jon Lichtenstein manned the grills
Erin Walsh, Helen Kane and Bill Kane helped with the games and setup and worked the concession tent
Jen Zwitch got the word out, then contributed treats and help to the bake sale
The Miller family helped with tickets and games, and best of all, brought the fun

Mari Ayala and Judy Voet made the bake sale go sweetly
Kerri Phipps helped all around
Sara Klockars-Clauser painted art and smiles on so many kids’ faces
Kelly Kaminski followed the money and ran the raffle
Donna Ferruzzi made the jewelry sale look like a million dollars
Ranita Chakrabarti made ACT @ Furness a huge hit with wonderful performances, great fun and a new crowd
Student performers shared an amazing range of talents
Woody Johnson and the Book Sale crew lined ‘em up and checked ‘em out, both buyers and books
Lynne Alvarez got the ACT tent, helped with everything under the sun, and was the first one there and the last to leave.
Board, staff and volunteers, I thank you for supporting the library, at May Fair and every day, to help others enjoy what the library has to offer.
