An update from the Children’s Institute

Posted by Pamela Ribon on Apr 22, 2010 in 2008 Book Drive | Comments Off Hi Pam, I’ve donated three books to the Riley Hospital for Children in Indianapolis.

Posted by Pamela Ribon on Mar 12, 2008 in 2008 Book Drive | 1 comment [This letter was in response to asking if she needed help unpacking/sorting/shelving/etc.] Hi there! Thank you!
