Gifts to the NBACF Book of Memories
Donors may establish a lasting memorial to honor a relative or friend through a gift to the Book of Memories. The name of the person honored is inscribed in the "Book of Memories", a leather-bound volume displayed at the North Bend Public Library. Contributions can be designated by the donor to a particular fund. Donations may also be made in honor of a special occasion, such as a birth or retirement.
Board meetings are generally open to the public and are held quarterly. Please contact us if you would like to receive more information.
