New library fundraiser brings nostalgia
EMPORIUM — Barbara Moscato Brown Memorial Library will launch a brand-new fundraiser this summer — and it’s serving up a whole lot of hometown flavor.
Introducing the first-ever Ham & Cheese Sandwich Fundraiser, inspired by none other than the legendary creations of Mrs. Strycula, a beloved former teacher whose sandwiches are still fondly remembered by her former students. From July 14 through Aug. 1, community members can preorder one of these classic ham and cheese sandwiches — stacked on a fresh Kaiser roll with mustard and served with a bag of Lay’s chips — for just $6. Sandwiches will be ready for pickup from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the library on Aug. 15.
Local businesses are invited to join in by requesting a group signup sheet and enjoying free delivery to their location on the day of the event. To place an order or arrange delivery, patrons can call the library at (814) 486-8011 or visit the library’s Facebook page, or website at barbaramoscatobrownlibrary.org.
The library is seeking volunteers to help make and pack sandwiches on the morning of pickup. Anyone interested in helping out can contact the library directly. All proceeds from this tasty fundraiser will help support the library’s growing lineup of community programs and events.
