Summer Reading Thank You!
Thank you to our community for participating in and supporting a wonderful Summer Reading Program this year. The theme this summer was “All Together Now,” and it was clear that it takes all of us in the community working together to make a great summer reading program. Thanks go out to the Golay Center for hosting many of our larger events and for allowing the children in the Super Summer Fun program to attend the events. Thanks also to the Purdue Extension Center of Connersville who presented an interesting program on water gradients. The Touch-a-Truck program was great fun, thanks to the Town of Cambridge City, the Dublin Fire Department, the Cambridge City Police Department, and IMI Concrete for bringing out their vehicles for kids to explore. The fabulous Lincoln High Marching Band presented a fascinating demonstration of their instruments and a great State Fair show this past week. As a generous treat, Marilyn Schunk provided snow cones for all of the band members and
audience—thank you Marilyn! Finally, a big thank you goes out to our Summer Reading donors, including Judy Huddleston, Jill King, Mary Ellen Luellen, Elaine Potter, Allen Renaker, and Kathi Todd. We couldn’t do it without all of you!
