Book Worms Welcome
By now you all know we were blessed with a large donation of books.   I will be starting a "borrow" bookcase in the game room.   Please feel free to borrow and read as many books as you like and when you're done please bring them back so others can enjoy them.   If you have any books you want to donate, please let me know.   I would like to thank Al Stanziale for the donation of the bookshelf.

Thank You, Joyce Glaze
