Thanks to everyone who loves SPL and, more generally, libraries! We raised $5,505 to benefit Stonington Public Library in our fourth annual Labor Day raffle. The raffle’s success, featuring two grand prizes, exceeded our wildest expectations. You all made this success possible and ensured a win—the biggest win!—for our island community with your support for SPL.
Congratulations to Carole and Marie-Noelle! They are the grand prize winners of the Andrea Kostelak American flag quilt and Jill Hoy plein air oil painting, respectively, in the SPL Labor Day raffle. We also drew winners for 5 SPL totes and 5 SPL t-shirts; winners can choose any color, size, or design. All winning ticket numbers are listed below.
So many people pitched in to make the raffle a resounding success. First and foremost, thank you to Jill Hoy and Andrea Kostelak for their generous donations. Andrea’s heartfelt quilted wall hanging in memory of her father-in-law and Jill’s iconic painting of Stonington Harbor made it easy to sell tickets. Thank you to SPL volunteers who spent many hours selling tickets at the Stonington Farmers’ Market and on the library porch. And thank you to Wylie, Barbara, and Pat for taking time out of their day on Labor Day to help with the raffle drawing. I couldn’t have asked for a better person to draw the winning tickets than Wylie!
