Friends Receive Funds from 100 Women Who Care Marshall

On July 28, 2016 the group 100 Women Who Care Marshall, Illinois meet.  100 Women Who Care is a group that of women who care deeply about their community.  A 100 WWC group gathers 4 times a year for a one-hour meeting and each member writes a $100 check to the charity that the group selects.  The combined donations make a real impact, without time consuming fundraising events and planning.  The mission and hope of 100 WWC is to provide for those in greatest need in the local community.

 The Friends of Marshall Public Library were the most recently selected group to receive funds from 100 Women Who Care. The Friends will use the money to support the services, resources, and programs at Marshall Public Library. The majority of programs offered at the library are made possible by the Friends through membership fees, gifts, and grants of individuals and/or organizations in the community.  To help support the library’s efforts all are invited to become a Friends of the Library by paying a small membership fee.

 

Friend Receive Historical Preservation Grant from DAR

The National Society Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) notified Friends of Marshall Public Library on April 28th 2016, they have been chosen to receive a national grant from the DAR in the amount of $2500. The Special Project Grants program was started by the DAR in 2010 to support projects in local communities that promote their mission of historic preservation.

The local Walter Burdick Chapter NSDAR, wrote a letter of sponsorship for the Friends of the Library, in the application process. The Friends sought grant money from DAR to complete their digitization of microfilm reels for local Marshall newspapers since 1849. Completing this project will provide residents a higher level of preservation to Marshall’s history. The Friends have been working on the digitization project since 2012 and have completed $8000 of the cost so far.

The DAR receives hundreds of grant applications each year, making competition high. Library director, Alyson Thompson, said, “We are honored to be receiving such a generous donation from the DAR and we feel fortunate they have chosen (Marshall Public Library) to assist us in completing our newspaper digitization.”

The NSDAR was founded in 1890 as a service organization, to promote patriotism, preserve American history, and support better education for our nation’s children. Its members are descended from patriots who won American independence during the Revolutionary War. To learn more about the work of today’s DAR, visit www.DAR.org.

To learn more about Marshall Public Library’s digitization project you may call the library at 217-826-2535, or search the library’s genealogy webpage featuring Clark County Newspaper Archives.
