Erie County Legislator John J. Mills is pleased to announce that with this year’s total, his hot dog roast fundraisers have raised $11,710 for the Concord Library. The 2016 event, held July 14, raised $1,305.

“Thanks to the support of the greater Concord/Springville community, my Hot Dog Roast Fundraiser has now raised $11,710 in 10 years to support the library’s efforts to provide quality programming and materials,” said Legislator Mills. “I want to thank all the local officials and the library staff for helping to ensure the event was a success.”

Legislator Mills presented the 2016 donation to Concord Library Director Bridgette Heintz on August 8. Also present for the presentation were Town of Concord Supervisor Gary Eppolito, Town of Concord Board Member Clyde Drake, Library Board Treasurer Dr. Carl Eisenhard and Library Board Trustee Kelli Rumfola.   

“On behalf of myself and the Hulbert Library Board of Trustees, thank you to Mr. Mills and his office for continuing to support the libraries.  A sincere thank you as well to the Town of Concord, Village of Springville, the Hulbert Library staff, all the volunteers who assisted with the fundraiser, and all who showed up to make the event another success.  The funds have not been earmarked yet for use, but will be put into the library's private account for future use be it programming or materials,” said Director Heintz.

Over the years the Hot Dog Roast Fundraisers have raised more than $65,700 for the libraries in Legislator Mills’ district.
