Library News
We would like to express our sincere thanks to Cathy Merck, Claudia Miner and Becca Coleman for stepping up at the last minute to cover the library during the time of our father’s death. We especially would like to thank DaShawn Wilson who immediately when told about the situation said, “don’t worry about anything, I’ll take care of it” and did. We also would like to thank the Atkins Library Board for the beautiful plant they sent. Our sincere thanks again to each of you. ~ Cathy and Vicky
