Maggie’s Buns teams up with FG Library Foundation for annual lasagna dinner
Maggie’s Buns, a Forest Grove icon for 16 years, is coming to the aid of the Forest Grove Library again, catering the annual “Books ‘n Buns” event Thursday, Jan. 16, 5-8 p.m., at the United Church of Christ, 2032 College Way. All proceeds benefit the Forest Grove Library Foundation.
The Library Foundation (fglf-copy.dev.cc) is currently raising $80,000 for the Ed Carpenter Pubic Art Project, which will be a striking addition for the community. Internationally renowned artist Ed Carpenter’s mother was a longtime Forest Grove library patron. In his mother’s memory, Carpenter (www.edcarpenter.net) is designing and donating his work on a special piece for the skylight near the library’s main desk. The Library Foundation needs to raise $80,000 for materials, enhanced lighting and installation. The project also includes woodworking by Greg Kriebel and metalwork by Eric Canon, both Forest Grove artists.
Join the Library Foundation board members, patrons and supporters Thursday, Jan. 16, for good food, fun and fellowship benefiting a great community endeavor. The menu from Maggie’s Buns includes lasagna (vegetarian available also), salad, bread and dessert. Coffee is donated by BJ’s Coffee.
Tickets are $12 adults, $6 for children 12 and under, and available at the library, 2114 Pacific Avenue. Take-out is also available. A limited number of tickets will be sold.
For information, call library Director Colleen Winters at 503-992-3246.
