Yesterday we had the kick-off planning meeting for our Centennial Capital Campaign at work. More study needed, etc. was the general consensus, and how do we fit our existing, though small (USD 53,000) endowment into the Campaign?

We broke up around 1:15 p.m. Around 3:50 the President of the Library Friends group called me. She'd picked up the mail for the Friends and in it was a check, the residue of a trust, for the Library. USD 46,093.62. Seems like the parents grew up in Pocatello and they and their children used and enjoyed the Library and....

The money will go into the Endowment, effectively doubling it, and a nice start to the Capital Campaign.

Odd how that happened on that particular day!
