Students volunteer

Elementary PTO in the playground construction during May. Seated from left, Mary Blase, John
Doerfler and Fred Wesley register the Intermediate students. In front of the table, from front, are
students Melanie George, Adrienne Camp, Brian Blase, Daniel Breymeir, Mary Kemmerer, Sean

Library notes
- I have been delivering books to several residents at the Meadows
Apartments for many years and have become accustomed to the kind of
books they each prefer. One of the ladies reads Bible stories on a weekly
basis at the nursing home for a group of patients on each of the two
floors. She also conducts a Bible study session once a month at the
~ nursing home. The book from the library that she finds most useful is by
Charles M. Sheldon titled, “The Young People’s Book of Bible Stories’.
She has this book in her possession on a temporary permanent loan,
having been using it since February of 1987. I usually take 3 or 4 books
for each of the other ladies, most of them by their favorite authors. This
is one of the services the library is happy to provide and the gratitude
which comes from the residents makes it all worthwhile.
The Back Mountain Memorial Library was given the balance of the
Cookbooks from the Dallas Junior Woman’s Club when they disbanded to
be sold here with the profit going to benefit the library. There are still
some of these cookbooks on hand and we are now selling them at $1.00
each. This is a very nice cookbook with recipes supplied by the club
members and community residents. This cookbook would make a nice
inexpensive gift.
The girls at The Dallas Post called to tell me that there was some mail
delivered there for me, a few weeks ago. The next time I stopped in, I
picked it up. It was a letter from a former resident now living in
Arlington, Virginia who had read publicity about the auction and the
sweat shirts we were selling with auction logo. She inquired if she could
purchase one by mail. This turned out to be a super arrangement; I
mailed the sweat shirt to her and within a week, I received a letter from
her with a check enclosed to cover the cost of the sweatshirt, the postage
and an added donation for the library. Her comment in the letter, ‘I was
born and raised in Dallas. I'll never forget the place. I love it!’”’ This is a
pure case of public relations at work. It is also our first cash received for
the 88 auction.
One of the bookmarks included in our display case is pretty special and
rather clever, it reads, “If my mother calls, I'm at the library’. Have
you been at your library lately?
