<p class="MsoNormal">Hello!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m working on a project for United for Libraries and would like to get a nice round-up of some of the great fundraising ideas that are happening in Michigan right now. If your library has done any really cool or unique fundraising, I would
love to hear about it! Crowdsourcing, big events, ideas that spanned multiple age groups, your old standbys: I want to hear them all.<o:p></o:p></p>
