$1,500 was earned through prize awards so far! Special thanks to our amazing videographers Kevin and Janet Allen for creating our award-winning video.

Hugs to everyone who supported the Friends at Slim Chickens on April 9th and to their amazing staff being our business partner! To our volunteers who "worked the table" ~~ THANK YOU: Susan S., Barbara P, Kathy H, Ruth C, Faith K. Thank you to our library staff members, Tiffany and Hayley for making buttons with children (and adults too) and creating the manatees and chicks on the 3-D printer! Everyone had so much FUN!
