=====Traveling Exhibit

November: East Lyme Library
Wendy Oestreicher has agreed to take over scheduling and coordinating the Traveling Exhibit.
If you want to help set up the exhibit at your library or other location, please contact her.

Hosting a Bottles of Hope Workshop when the Traveling Exhibit is at a location is great way to showcase both projects.
