The Community Room will open at 1:00 for signing in, mingling, and finding a seat. Suggested donation price for the ticket is $25.00. Our last two teas both sold out, so be sure to get your ticket(s) early. You can go online and get your ticket by going to https://squareup.com/store/north-highlands-antelope-friends-of-sacramento-public-library/item/tea-and-tinseltown-august or email the Friends at nhantelope.friends@gmail.com to order your ticket.

NORTH HIGHLANDS-ANTELOPE FRIENDS HOLD ANNUAL DINNER MEETING
If you are curious about the work of the Friends of the Library, or work during the day and can't get to meetings, well, mark your calendar because our annual dinner and meeting is coming up on Wednesday, July 18 at 6:00 pm in the Community Room. Come meet our branch supervisor, Kristi Powell, and hear about the upcoming changes that will be affecting our branch.
We will also get a full run-down on programs and other expenses planned for the 4th quarter, and will authorize funding for as many of the requests as we can. There will be a progress report on the tea and it isn't too soon to start planning for our next book sale.
We will also enjoy dinner from El Pollo Loco, so please RSVP to Deb Karaman, debbykaraman@gmail.com, to ensure that there is enough food for all our Friends. This is the best meeting of the year, so join us!
