"On my honor I will do my best..."

                          ~ the beginning line of the Boy Scout oath
Jessie F. Hallett Memorial Library

 
 

Christopher Boucher, son of Don & Marie Boucher, has been diligently working on his Eagle Scout project. Christopher thought the JFHML Garden of Read'N-established in 2010, could use some shade. So he has been busy planning and raising funds in order to construct a 14'X14' pergola. We were thrilled that Christopher chose the JFHML as the designee for his project.
The cost for materials is estimated at $3800 and does not include the labor or incidentals.  If you are interested in helping Christopher complete his Eagle Scout project, donations can be made in care of the JFHML Friends Foundation attention Garden of Read'N Pergola.

There is a display in the library with more information about this worthwhile cause.

Thank you Christopher!
And thank YOU for your support!
