Lauree Harp, a long-time resident of Arlington Heights, is organizing a group of volunteers who will donate their time as founding board members of the Arlington Heights Memorial Library Foundation. Joining her are Miriam Cooper, Betsy Kmiecik, Gary McClung, Michael Mulder, Claudia Starck and John Walsh.
"A library foundation can provide opportunities for a variety of revenue sources to supplement tax support," said Harp.
The Foundation is a separate entity from the Friends of the Library. Foundation board members will focus on individual, foundation and corporate gifts, as well as planned giving opportunities. The group has applied for 501(c)(3) nonprofit status. The Foundation and Friends of the Library have a mutual focus on providing the Library with revenue sources.
