If we raise 600 books and $3000 dollars for the Village Learning Place by Monday, September 20th, she will allow Pamie to post video of her singing Beatles Rock Band. Some facts: 1. It is the first time Pamie’s Mom has ever tried Rock Band. 2. It is definitely after one glass of wine, but might be two. 2a. Pamie’s mom rarely...
