by Emily M Dumas 11 Nov '21

11 Nov '21

Greetings, I'm in the process of revising our agreement with the city's Community Foundation to establish the terms of our endowment fund. Would any library in a similar situation be willing to share what's included in their agreement? Thanks, Emily [/var/folders/c4/pn04drv965q2qlqx52sjgnvdhktm0j/T/com.microsoft.Outlook/WebArchiveCopyPasteTempFiles/cidimage001.png(a)01D4C2D2.9B24D4F0]<https://troypl.org/> Emily Dumas | Library Director 510 W Big Beaver Troy, Michigan 48084 248.524.3544 [/var/folders/c4/pn04drv965q2qlqx52sjgnvdhktm0j/T/com.microsoft.Outlook/WebArchiveCopyPasteTempFiles/cidimage002.png(a)01D4C2D2.9B24D4F0]<https://www.facebook.com/troylib/> [/var/folders/c4/pn04drv965q2qlqx52sjgnvdhktm0j/T/com.microsoft.Outlook/WebArchiveCopyPasteTempFiles/cidimage003.png(a)01D4C2D2.9B24D4F0] <https://www.instagram.com/troylib/> [/var/folders/c4/pn04drv965q2qlqx52sjgnvdhktm0j/T/com.microsoft.Outlook/WebArchiveCopyPasteTempFiles/cidimage004.png(a)01D4C2D2.9B24D4F0] <https://twitter.com/troylib>
