PROGRAM:
Steve introduced Val Myerson Petoskey District Library Director and Jody Haven, who gave us a very interesting program on the library. Many of us were unaware of the wide variety of programs and services the library provides. So, if you think that we don’t need a “library building” because of the internet be sure to visit our beautiful library building to see all that is still has to offer. You will be pleasantly surprised
Next Week’s Program: Carolyn Tabone, RN, Stop the Bleed Program
