A successful fundraiser!

Library supporters, and locogringos especially, YOU DID IT AGAIN! You helped us raise over $3000 U.S. for the library, that's enough to cover 2 months worth of operating expenses.

We can't say thank you enough times or enough ways:
thank you!~mil gracias!~yum botik!~merci beacoup!~molto grazie!


Special thanks to Liza (aka Wifey) for keeping the fundraiser running on 4 forums and to Gary (aka SS47) for sharing his artistic talents to create some wonderful prizes!
