In the summer of 2020 the Dania Beach Paul DeMaio Library planned numerous special FREE programs for our children, youth, teens & adults. These programs included free art, science, dance & movement, and story programs at the library. Unfortunately, due to COVID-19 shutdown of public facilities, our Special Summer Program events had to be cancelled. There is a possibility that Summer Programs may be replaced by alternative on-line, streaming classes & programs via Zoom, Facebook or other internet video options. At this time the specifics are not known. Cancellation of many special events, and other planned FOL fund raising activities, finds us unable to raise the matching funds needed for our normal year-round programming. The impact of this pandemic left us without the ability to hold our pre-planned FOL Front Porch Book & Art Bonanza, participate in Art in the Hall, Art & Seafood Celebration, Patch monthly activities, Hurricane Expo 2020, and other potential fund raiser events. The Dania Beach Paul DeMaio Library has a dedicated “e-government” computer, and plans to continue to assist clients to register for Census 2020, when we re-open. Meanwhile Continuous notices are posted on our DB FOL Facebook Page and public personal FB page to encourage participation. To continue this vital work for our community in 2020-2021, we are again requesting the City of Dania Beach to consider award to the Friends of the Dania Beach Paul DeMaio Library a Charitable Grant request in the amount of $7,500. Without your support, we will be unable to continue to offering the robust diversity of programs for all ages during FY 2020-2021, including art, music, reading, science, technology, dance, movement, fitness, story and movie programs for children and adults. Thank you again for your generous past consideration, and your continued support. Please know that these contributions make a very positive impact on the people in our community. Sincerely, Linda Wilson, President Carole Morris, 1st Vice President Cc: DB FOL Board; Chris Marhenke, Branch Manager Please like us on Facebook and become a member of the “Friends” to help support valuable FREE programs which we provide to our community.
