Last week, we started running the 2nd Annual Pick. Click. Give. Confesional - also known as "I Confess to Pick. Click. Give." The contest encourages people to "Confess" to giving through Pick. Click. Give. runs to Tuesday, Jan 17. This year, we will randomly choose three winners from the confessions here.
And we have our first winner!
Erin Harrington of Kodiak made this confession: "I confess our new library will be getting my PFD this year."
Why did she confess? In her confession, she wrote, "Because I can make a difference."
It just so happens that Erin is also the Chairman of the Kodiak Public Library Association, the nonprofit that will receive the $500 donation from us in her name. Not only does she care about her cause, but she also volunteers to support it AND entered a contest on it's behalf.
Upon learning she had won, Erin went on to say, "I'm supporting this organization because I believe that learning, creativity, and imagination are critical to a civil society, and libraries are a home for these things."
The Kodiak Public Library Association was formed in 1953 to build a local library for the growing community of Kodiak and to move the library’s collection from skid shack to a permanent building. You can learn more about the Association and more about their new library project at Living, Learning Growing.
