| Proceeds from Quilt Donated | ||
| by Fran Scanlon-Mills | ||
| |
||
The Mountain Laurel Arts and Crafts group (which meets in the library's multi-purpose room monthly) held a raffle for a quilt which was handcrafted by the members. A color picture of this lovely quilt was on display at the check-out desk in the library for a few weeks. The proceeds amounting to $1100 have been donated to the Library for discretionary spending by our librarian. The presentation was made on Thursday, June 17, as you may have seen in the local paper. |

Friends of the Library have decided to postpone the summer picnic this year. Plans are being made to have some social activity for members in the fall. We will keep the membership informed about those plans. |
