Tickets for Wilton Library’s Spring Gala On Sale

Wilton Library is pleased to announce that tickets will go on sale starting on Monday, March 6 for its Spring Gala to be held on Saturday, April 22 from 6:30 to 11 p.m. at Rolling Hills Country Club in Wilton.

The Spring Gala is the library’s biggest and most important fundraising event of the year, and promises to be an elegant and entertaining evening celebrating both the library and spring with the theme “Imagination in Bloom.” The event will honor four distinguished individuals responsible for making Wilton Library the cornerstone of our community through their forward-thinking work and dedication – Judy Higby, Kathy Leeds, Katharine Welling, and Malcolm Whyte.

“We are delighted to welcome back the Spring Gala event, which serves as a wonderful showcase of what makes the Wilton community so special. So many parts of our town come together to make this important fundraising event happen: generous sponsors, advertisers, and attendees, local businesses that donate goods and services, enthusiastic volunteers who donate their time and talents, and our hard-working library staff. All proceeds from this event will directly support our incredible collections, programs, and services,” said Caroline Mandler, Executive Director of Wilton Library. “We are very pleased to honor Judy Higby, Kathy Leeds, Katharine Welling, and Malcolm Whyte for their vision to create an innovative library environment that would engage new residents and grow with the ever-changing needs of our community. Both the library and our community have benefited from their involvement, and we are very grateful to them.”

At the event, guests will be treated to a delicious dinner prepared by Rolling Hills Country Club and dancing to live music by Coverland Band. They will be enticed by specially curated live and silent auction items including unique experiences and entertainment, tickets to sporting events, a 3-night stay in Manhattan, packages for foodies and wine lovers, plus much more, all in support of the library.

“Our committee is so excited to plan this fabulous party to benefit the library. We encourage new Wilton residents to attend, since this is a great opportunity to get to know some of your neighbors. We also look forward to seeing our loyal friends and all of our generous sponsors, advertisers, and donors and thanking them in person. Without them, this event would not have been possible,” said Co-Chair Mary Pytko.

“Our wonderful theme “Imagination in Bloom” is really coming to life, and we can’t wait to share this fun and colorful evening with our guests. This event is a great example of our community uniting and coming together for a great cause, and it’s truly something to be thankful for,” said Co-Chair Betsy Huffman.
