Carol and Hal Henthrone played a variety of music for the Marathon Public Library, Christmas Open House, on November 30th at 6PM. Santa helpers showed up and passed out 35 Santa bags to all the children. Light refreshments were served, trees lighted and 60 guest joined in all the fun. Everyone joined in the singing of Christmas Carols.
I gave a small gift of wine and glasses to the three couples who volunteered the most this year at MPL. The gifts went to:
Steve and Arlene Griffis, Hal and Carol Henthrone, Sande Pedro and Mike Mountz. I wish to thank our board members who attended and all our patrons and volunteers. We all had a wonderful time. Please come and visit our little library.
Statues greeting everyone to the door were donated by Steve Griffis.
Merry Christmas everyone.
