Gratitude to volunteers for help with library fundraising
Every year the Friends of the Liberty Lake Municipal Library host a Spring Tea to raise funds for the benefit of our local library. I'm happy to report that this year's Spring Tea fundraiser was a big hit! Many people contributed to our success and we would like to publicly acknowledge them.
Thank you to our volunteer servers - Bob Gamble, Bob Schneidmiller, Seth Henning, Nathan Brown, Chris Sturm, Taylor Shea, Nick Mortimer, and Keyon Garakani. Gentlemen, you did a fantastic job and looked very handsome in your bow ties.
A big thank you to Ellen Bernardo, Vicki Jergens, Michelle Johnson, Angela Waugh, Lorraine Halvorson, Carol McKenney, Judi Williams, our library's Board of Trustees, the Liberty Lake Athletic Club, Twisp, and to the many local businesses and individuals who provided items for our silent auction. Each item was beautifully packaged and thoughtfully presented on our silent auction tables. Your generosity and kindness is very much appreciated.
Also, thank you to Annette Carter at the Art Chalet for her delightful oil painting that became the theme of this year's Spring Tea, and for her generous donation to our silent auction. We are sincerely grateful for your continued commitment to our library.
Thank you to Lisa Kauffman (Desserts by Sara) and to Lori Sayman (The Lunch Crue) for the incredible food they prepared and provided. And thank you to the lovely ladies at Apricot Lane for hosting the fashion show. It was the highlight of our event. Advertisement
And finally, thank you to Wayne Frost and the staff at Greenstone for allowing us to use the Meadowwood Technology Campus for the Spring Tea. The facility was beautiful and we are grateful for your continued support.

Memorial Day tribute
I just returned from Washington, D.C., and wrote this poem on my long journey home. Arlington National Cemetery was a very moving experience and I pray that this, and every, Memorial Day weekend, everyone takes a moment to reflect and remember those who gave their lives for our freedoms.

Arlington
Hallow be thy warriors etched in white stone!
Defenders of freedom and casualties known.
Our unalienable rights were fought for and paid;
The ultimate sacrifice marked by their graves.
It is here between crosses where cool breeze blows,
Warblers sing sweetly and grass is fresh mowed.
Where tributes are paid by the heroes that stand,
Saluting in silence to air, sea and land.
Flag blue and white streaked with blood flowing red;
Row upon row, we pay homage to dead.
Oh, hail to the victors that rest here at home!
Know, without question, you rest not alone.
