• The office will be closed on Monday, July 4, 2022, in observance of Independence Day, however I will be checking email, so please do not hesitate to reach out with any needs.
• The third issue of our sexton, Kenneth’s blog “The Libra Reader”.  He pulls no punches in his book reviews and there is a serious variety, so if you are looking for your next summer reading, this blog is a good source of inspiration.
