Great NEWS!!!!

Today is a great day full of sunshine and wonderful news. 

 At the last post we were told it would be anywhere from 6 weeks to 3 months before we would hear back about approval for the Friends of the Hammond Community Library 501(c)3 status.  Well today was the day!  We have been approved and given our official papers for this worthy non-profit organization.
 We are so excited,  We hope you are too!!! 
 Please come along side us and help this project come to life!

We have a long road ahead. 
  We still need volunteers and helpers for the grant writing process, as well as, many other opportunities throughout the year that our group will be raising funds for our amazing library. There are a lot of ways to get involved and if you are interested we have our next meeting Monday May, 11th 6pm at the Hammond Community Library.  Mark your calender and join us on the journey to creating a fresh space for our family and future families.

501 3c In Process

A update on the Friends of the Hammond Community Library Group:

Good News!
We finished the application for our non profit and it has been received by the government!


NOT Good BUT not BAD news!

IT will take 6-8 weeks for them to process the application.

We are a patient bunch and we are grateful that they will contact us if there is any missing information or if they have questions.

This step is the longest, but in the end this step is the most crucial for our fundraising and grant writing efforts.  We are headed in the right direction and can't wait to dig deep to get the renovation ball rolling.

Friends of the Hammond Community Library!
