Killingworth Women's Organization (KWO)
Fundraiser a success



The KWO was very happy to present a check for $4437.65 to the Killingworth Library Association after a very successful fundraiser on 9/14.
The fundraiser, called "A Novel Affair" had a literary theme, including decorations painstakingly made from old book pages and spines. The dinner was an elegant affair with steak or salmon and complimentary wine with dinner. The silent auction was a bit hit bringing in the bulk of the donation while the band played great tunes for dancing.
