Stop by the Children's Department (Oct. 10 - 24) and sign a card wishing Miss Kelly well.
| |
After 45 years (45 years, 1 month, 30 days, to be exact) Children's Services Assistant Manager Kelly Girard is retiring. Miss Kelly is known for WPL's Kids' Bingo and Book Magic. Generations of Woodridge children have enjoyed her themed stories, "fun sheets," and amazing transformations of the Children's Dept. with imaginative and really thrifty decorating. Who could forget the giant cupcakes and larger-than-life lollipops from the Golden Ticket event? Congratulations on your retirement Miss Kelly! | |
