Garveys, Hills recognized at Glendora Public Library

The Glendora Public Library Friends Foundation recently honored their generous donors at a Glendora Public Library reception, with special recognition given to Mike and Kitty Garvey and Thom and Sheryl Hill.

The Garveys have been dedicated and energetic supporters of the GPL Friends Foundation. They were hosts for the Tables of Contents fundraiser and, with Mike’s support, Kitty has spearheaded the gala library event, Night on the Plaza for the last 12 years.

Mike and Kitty’s companies, Zeta Systems and Crestwood Communities, have been supporters and major sponsors of Night on the Plaza.

In addition to the Night on the Plaza, Crestwood Communities supports the teen book trivia competition “Battle of the Books” and sponsors a team for the Great Trivia Challenge.

Kitty joined the library’s Friends Foundation Board in 2000 and is now an emeritus member.

Glendora Public Library and the GPL Friends Foundation have benefited from Thom and Sheryl’s leadership, advocacy and time as volunteers since 1992.

Thom joined the board of the GPL Friends Foundation in 2006. He served as co-vice president of fund development from 2007 to 2009 and served as president from 2009 to 2012. He now serves on the board as secretary.

Thom might be the one attending the meetings, but Sheryl is constantly beside him.

Sheryl has supported Night on the Plaza through hours of pounding the pavement and asking for donations, as well as donating their famous “Hill’s Dills” to this successful fundraiser.

The Glendora Public Library is extremely grateful to the Garveys and the Hills for their tireless dedication to making Glendora a better community.
