Submitted to the Lancaster Eagle Gazette

LANCASTER - The Friends of Fairfield County District Library held their annual dinner meeting on Oct. 22 at the First Presbyterian Church.

Marilyn Steiner, the library director, welcomed the friends and board member Sandy Lilly gave the invocation. A buffet dinner was prepared by Table 1 Restaurant of downtown Lancaster.

After dinner, board president Jean Hammer opened the business meeting. Officers for the next fiscal year were confirmed as follows: Hammer, president; Muriel Ballou, vice president; Nancy Conrad, treasurer; and Toni Miller, secretary.

Steiner presented the service awards. The Business and Corporate Award was given to Audra McMurray of The Connection for their sponsorship of Dog Tales. The Library Affiliation Award was given to Alan Christy, artistic director for the Lancaster Children’s Theater. The Volunteer of the Year Award was given to Sandy and Hal Lilly for their many years of volunteer service with the Friends of the Library.

The program for the evening was presented by Donna Lawrence of the Fairfield Heritage Association. She spoke about the lives of Ellen Ewing Sherman, wife of General William T. Sherman, and Mary Anna Custis Lee, wife of General Robert E. Lee. Both women were descendants of prominent American families forced to take sides in the Civil War, and their stories were riveting.

Membership in the Friends of the FCDL is open to all. Forms are available at any of the library locations and on the library website.
