Henry Tursky presents first endowment fund check to Friends president, Pat BabskiBy Carol Jones
Endowment Fund for Freedom Public Library
Some news is too good not to share, and this news is spectacular. In December Mr. Henry Tursky presented the first check from an endowment fund set up exclusively for Freedom Public Library's benefit.
Henry says his wife Doris had been a serious library patron since the doors first opened in September 2000. "We've lived in this area for 20 years," Henry told me. "Doris just loved going there, and she always enjoyed the holiday decorations."
Doris told her husband that when she passed away, he should do something special for the library. Henry did. He started The Doris Van Tanner Tursky Memorial Endowment Fund to use for general purposes, including purchase of books and seasonal decorations.
On behalf of Freedom Public Library, the staff and the Friends, thank you, Henry, for this most generous gift in Doris's memory.
