SUMMARY:March's 31 Days of Raffles supporting the Lewes Library
DESCRIPTION:“Every day in March the library will draw a raffle ticket to win $100 in gift certificates purchased from local businesses. \nWith 31 days in March\, you have 31 chances to win! \nEvery day is a NEW drawing\, so if you do not win one day\, your ticket will remain in the pot and could be drawn the next day. All net proceeds benefit the Library. Tickets may be purchased at the library and select area businesses.” \nThis a super fun raffle BUT the only reason we are able to give away gift certificates to LOCAL BUSINESSES is because those businesses donated the gift certificates to us. RIGHT NOW things are a little uncertain for many of the brick and mortar stores and restaurants that serve our community\, and make it a wonderful place to live. \nPLEASE show these folks some love right now – pick up food to go or order delivery\, buy gift cards online\, shop their website\, and tell your friends\, family\, and neighbors to do the same (but only talk to them from a safe distance!). Below are all the businesses that supported 31 Chances. Even if a local business isn’t on the list\, show them love too. We’re all in this together.” \n*** BREAKING NEWS *** \nThe Library is pleased to announce there will be a special prize drawing on the final day of drawings (March 31).\nThe first name drawn on that day will win a $250 gift card for use at any of the following Highway One Companies: Rusty Rudder\, Northbeach\, Bottle & Cork\, Outlet Liquors\, Ivy\, and Dewey Beach Liquors. \nThe second\, and final\, name drawn will win the GRAND PRIZE of a Dogfish Head Craft Brewery gift box full of Dogfish merchandise and a gift certificate for a two-night stay at Lewes’ Dogfish Inn. This package is worth over $500. \nRAFFLE TICKETS ARE ON SALE!\nStop by the Circulation Desk. Raffle tickets are offered at the following levels: \n\nFEELING LUCKY: 1 ticket for $20\nTRIPLE PLAY: 3 tickets for $50\nLUCKY 7: 7 tickets for $100\n\nLewes Public Library | (302) 645-2733

SUMMARY:Spanish Conversation Group\, Lewes Library
DESCRIPTION:“Join Spanish speakers 18+ to improve your Spanish-speaking skills. \nBasic Spanish conversational ability is required. \nNOTE: this is not a traditional class — there is no Spanish teacher. Instead\, it is a group of people who already speak some Spanish\, or who have studied some Spanish\, or who are now taking some classes elsewhere. Members include retirees\, college students\, and others who have a range of Spanish speaking abilities. Members of the group make suggestions as to what we might do in future classes. There is usually a ‘homework’ assignment preparing each person to talk in Spanish for 2 to 3 minutes to the group. There are icebreakers\, games\, and invited guests who speak on various topics. Each week is different. Nearly all of the discussions are in Spanish. The group is very informal\, friendly and there is no pressure to participate.” \nThursdays | 2:00 PM Eastern Time | Hybrid (Online and In-person)\n \n  \nAll copy and pics from the website: Lewes Library
