TOTALS FOR BWB FEBRUARY 13, 2018
CHILDREN ADULTS TOTAL136 76 212
Thank you to the following Rotarians for their help and support this morning at Beckley. A big thank you also goes to Audrey Davis who is not a Rotarian but joined us in helping form avid readers. I hope we will continue to see her at BWB. It was a very special morning! Please note the total 212 was the same as last month and this is the first time this has happened. I hope we can bring this total up in March. The total might be low but the smiling faces and bright, eager eyes of the children attending made the morning perfect.
