The funds raised this year will be used to update our library.

To all the volunteers who assisted us in any way this month, thank you for your dedication and commitment. We are extremely appreciative of all the help that you provide us. Until next month, when we can hopefully report how many fish we’ve caught in the pond at a fishing derby.
