Mifflin Community Library tees up for 2016 Golf Outing

The Mifflin Community Library is excited to announce that, in addition to title sponsors Burkey Group and Zimmer Biomet Riccione, Imperial Supplies has joined as an Eagle Sponsor, and Penncat Corporation and Precision Medical Products have joined as Birdie Sponsors.

The tournament will be held June 7 at the beautiful LedgeRock Golf Club nestled in the hills of Cumru Township. Proceeds from the tournament benefit the library.

“During this 10th anniversary of the MCL golf outing, we celebrate how the vision and work of the library has inspired new sponsorships and increased support by local businesses like Burkey Group and Zimmer Biomet Riccione,” said Megan Huesgen, president of the Mifflin Community Library’s board of trustees. “The proceeds of this event significantly enhance our efforts to meet traditional library needs and expand our technology service. We are incredibly grateful for the steadfast support of our sponsors and participants.”

As government and other traditional funding sources for libraries have decreased, the success of fund raising events, such as this golf tournament, is even more critical. The number of residents using the library has risen dramatically, with Mifflin Community Library patrons borrowing more than 116,558 items in 2015, and using the computers more than 80 times each day.

Sponsorship opportunities are still available, and registration for golfers is in full swing. To learn more about the golf outing, other sponsorship opportunities or to register to play in the tournament, call 610-7773911.
