We now have a beautiful banner to display at our activities and public events. This is something we have talked about for several years and we thank Sue and her son for helping us get it.


	Book Give-Away

Kids' Day in the Plaza is on April 9th and SLOCRA will be participating with its annual book give-away. Please contact a board member if you'd like to participate in this rewarding experience. It's lots of fun meeting kids and seeing their happy faces as they receive a book from SLOCRA.
