Sponsorship letters have been sent to our past sponsors and area businesses. A sponsorship is $100. If you would like to be a sponsor contact 715-274-8331 or stop by the library. Sponsor’s will appear on the back of the 40th Birthday Bellringer t-shirt. Your sponsorship helps in this biggest annual fundraiser of the Friends of the Library. In 2023, the Friends along with help from the Mellen Lions Club replaced the library flooring. In 2022, The Friends Place outdoor patio space was dedicated. We appreciate all support; sponsors, race participants, volunteers, and donors.
