On Monday, April 21st the members of the PALS were honored with a luncheon at the library. Everyone was surprised with our special entertainment, Mr. James Rohret. Jim gave two recitations, with a costume change to portray President Abraham Lincoln giving history and the Gettysburg Address. Lisa, Mary and Rachel served thirty members a baked potato bar spread, including desserts, tea, water and coffee. Our PALS are a fun group that makes our library extra-ordinary!
