WOW!!!!
What an awesome day! The 2nd Annual Free
Ice Cream Social, held on Saturday, June 19, was
a HUGE success.
Over 800 free ice cream cones were scooped,
doubling last year's total. We raised over
$1,900 from corporate sponsorships, $1,300 in
Scholastic book credits, $1,600 from private
donations, and an entire Kart full of great, new
children's books!
We would like to thank
the 100s of volunteers that made this day
happen, especially WBCL radio, dozens of
corporate sponsors, Madeline's Toybox, PEto the
"Almost" Magnificent, the Conglomernotes, and of
course our own Kate's Kart volunteers.

GREAT NEWS!
Due to your generosity, our Karts are well
stocked with all types of books. Our greatest need
at this time is for monetary donations to purchase
additional Soft

Board Books. Thank you!! |
