The Carmel Public Library Foundation (CPLF) is requesting the use of the Main Library to hold its annual Donor Salute event, on Sunday, March 5, 2023. Donor salute is held each to thank those who donate $100 or more in a calendar year to the CPFL.
The CPLF is also requesting the use of the Main Library to hold its annual Sterling Circle event on Sunday, June 11, 2023 from 3:00pm - 5:00pm at the Main Library. The Sterling Circle event is held annually to thank the CPLF Planned Giving Program donors.
Per City Policy C89-47 "Support Groups Policy", the use of library facilities shall be determined by the Harrison Memorial Library Board of Trustees, with the exception of events at which alcoholic beverages are offered. The Board of Trustees considered the CPLF's request at its January 24, 2023 meeting and voted to recommend that the City authorize co-sponsorship of both of the events.
Wine will be served during the event. The CPLF will secure a Daily License Permit from the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control.
Per policy C89-47, the City will not provide insurance coverage for any City Support Groups in a City building at which alcohol is served, unless the activity is officially co-sponsored by resolution of the City Council.
Both Donor Salute and Sterling Circle are opportunities for the CPLF to extend its gratitude and appreciation to its donors for their support.
