We reviewed our December meeting/ 10th Anniversary Celebration. At that meeting were many old members, new families, bookmark contest winners, and Friends. In all, about 50 people. Over $600.00 was made on the auction, which will be turned over to the
library; to be matched to purchase much needed chairs for the library. Excellent
speakers, many door prizes, a very successful evening! Virginia is waiting on Pizza
Hut certificates to be mailed for the bookmark contest winners.

Punky won the “Dessert of the Month” at the auction, and donated it to the staff for
