Progress!

We have reached 70% of our Capital Campaign goal and are getting ready to start the "Public Phase" of our campaign. This is a major milestone, and we are getting ready to celebrate! At 7:00 April 29th at the Elks Club on 428 West State Street we are gathering to celebrate the successes we have had so far in our fundraising. Kirk Narburgh, of King & King Architects, will be there to talk about the project, and desserts and drinks will be served. We'll have a display table with artifacts from the Swan Archives, and the program will feature introductions to the committees who have been working so hard on the new building project. The Board has selected Lecesse Construction to manage the project, and the paperwork has begun so that we can sign a contract with them. The Building Committee, under the leadership of Eric Brown, investigated the selected firms who made bids on the project, and recommended Lecesse because of their experience with this type of project. We are also getting ready for the Swan Library Annual Meeting on May 2nd here at the library. As always, it will be held in the upstairs meeting room at the library at 7:00pm. The Annual Report to the community will be available, and reports from all the Board Committees on the progress they have made in the past year. There will be more exciting events coming up as we get ready to break ground for the new building. We welcome help from anyone who wishes to participate!
