At Last - A LLAMA!

A LLAMA!
The 2011 Summer Reading Program is finished at last!  Remember the llama poster on the door that survived Hurricane Irene?  The whole reason for that was to donate a "llama" to Heifer International on behalf of all the kids that read books.  Well, as you can see from this Thank You card, I did!         Cathy
