A cooperative “Drive Into
The Future” raffle to benefit the Library Construction Project.
Holyoke, MA -- On Friday June 22 at 10:00 a.m., the Holyoke
Public Library (HPL) and Gary Rome Auto Group will officially announce that
they have teamed up together to raffle a 2013 Hyundai to benefit HPL’s Next 100
Years Campaign to renovate and expand the library facility. This launch event
will be held at the Library construction site at 335 Maple Street featuring
Holyoke Mayor Alex Morse, Gary Rome and HPL officials. Members of the press and
general public are welcome.
The “Drive into the Future” Raffle will provide the winner
with a 3-year lease to a new 2013 Hyundai Elantra as a first prize. Raffle
tickets may be purchased for $10 each, or 3 for $25, and the drawing will be
held in December, 2012.
“We are extraordinarily grateful to Gary and the team at
Gary Rome Auto Group for their generosity and support in this wonderful
partnership,” said Library President Terry Plum. “Having such a terrific local
business come forward at this time is extremely helpful, and we look forward
not only to raising funds for the campaign, but also to spreading word
throughout the area about how incredible the new library will be.”
The Library, which is now under construction, will be a
blending of old and new, serving as a state-of-the-art information technology
and community center facility while retaining the current building’s historic
grandeur. The project will increase usable square footage in the library by
264% and provide ample space for children’s programs, technology and literacy
training services.
“The Holyoke Public Library is critical to the future of
Holyoke, and we want to play a strong role in bringing this important campaign
across the finish line,” said Gary Rome, President of Gary Rome Auto Group.
“This is about giving back to our community, and making the future brighter for
all of our children and families.”
Of note, the Rome family has been doing business in Holyoke
for over 90 years and has actively supported numerous local charities that help
children and families in the community.
