The Friends of DCDL hosted their first annual FOL Gala on Thursday, May 2, 2024 from 6:00 - 8:30pm at the Wedgwood Country Club in Powell.
What a wild "Night at the Races" it was! Attendees bet on prerecorded horse races, cheered on their favorite horses in each race, wore their finest Derby hats and attire, and enjoyed good food, good fun and mint juleps!
This event raised over $6700 which will help support the many Friends of DCDL experiences including the Summer Reading Club, Young Writers Workshops, Author Visits, and the two Maker Studios.
Special thanks goes out to the following community sponsors for their generous support:
