 There were over 35 children 
and their parents.

The reading group's book this month is Flight Behavior 

by Barbara Kingsolver and is a very good read.  

Please feel free to come to the library and 

pick up a copy.  

You don't have to come to the discussion, 

but it's a great story.  

The Penny Social was a great success.  

The members of Historical society can certainly cook!  
I loved the historically correct costumes 
the auctioneers wore.
