PlaneTree in 2008
Thank you! Many of you have been wonderfully generous in providing "bridge funding" -- cumulative contributions have added up to more than a month's operating funds. We appreciate the loyalty of past supporters and welcome new donors who share the PlaneTree philosophy. There will be many new plaques on our handsome donor board ($500 for first tier)!
We are using your much-needed contributions, plus our reserves, to keep the library open and continue our nationally-recognized health information services. Meanwhile PlaneTree's board members are investigating promising models, partnerships, and funding sources with due diligence.
We welcome your suggestions. Please know how much we appreciate your kind words and financial support.

Ellen Baron
1924-2007
A delightful woman deeply devoted to her family and her community, Ellen Baron was a great supporter of many local organizations. PlaneTree is fortunate that in 1996 her late husband, Robert L. Baron, chose to create an endowment for our library's future. Ellen, their sons, and many PlaneTree supporters have contributed to it over the years. We note with great sadness her recent passing.
