[White, Shannon (MDE)]

I missed adding the registration link below for the trustee event on Friday.

Please don’t forget that registration is free but FOML does need to get a count so they can prepare materials and plan for refreshments.  Thank you to the Friends of the Charlevoix Public Library for providing refreshments for each day’s event.
