Dear Kellie;
I am writing to request your support for the submission of a
request to use the Doffing Estate funds. In accordance with the
City of Hastings guidelines (dated October 16, 2008), “Friends of
the Pleasant Hill Library must submit the request and include a
recommendation for approval.”
Pleasant Hill Library is requesting use of the Doffing Estate funds
to support a Family Pride Celebration on June 18, 2022. This
celebration will be the first of its kind hosted by the Library.
At this family-friendly and supportive event, we invite the
community to create art, hear stories, and have fun while learning
about LGBTQIA+ cultures and history in an age-appropriate way.
The support provided by the Doffing Estate moneys will fund book
giveaways and treats for attendees.
The request above is in keeping with the guidelines adopted by
the City of Hastings in 2008 for use of the Doffing Estate funds.
Thank you for your support of this request which will allow us to
get free books into the hands of Hastings kids and support an
affirming welcoming community. Please let me know if you have
questions or require additional information.
Sincerely,
Julia Carlis
Pleasant Hill Library Manager
