Greetings: With the kind permission of our List Mom, I would like to take this opportunity to announce the Bassett Historical Center, a member of the Blue Ridge Regional Library System, has undertaken a fund raising campaign to double the size of its existing facility in Bassett, Virginia. Those of you who had visited know what a treasure this Genealogical and Historical Library is. For those who haven't, or would like to learn how you can help, please visit the fundraiser's temporary website at: http://www.freestateofpatrick.com/bhcbf.htm More information will be forthcoming. We on the board appreciate your help and support to reach this very worthy goal. Sincerely, Truman Adkins Fieldale, Henry County, Virginia Member, Bassett Historical Center Expansion Committee Board Member, Blue Ridge regional Library System _________________________________________________________________ FREE pop-up blocking with the new MSN Toolbar – get it now! http://toolbar.msn.click-url.com/go/onm00200415ave/direct/01/
