August 2007:  There was no “regular” Junior Friends meeting.  Instead Junior Friends were in attendance to help at the Children’s End of the Summer Reading Party”.

September 2007:  Created a collage for the children’s bulletin board entitled:  “Our diverse world”.  We used donated National Geographic magazines to cut out pictures for the display.  It was a fantastic display and received a lot of patron comment.

October 2007:  Created snowflake ornaments out of puzzle pieces.  These will be the ornaments that we use at the tree lighting ceremony in December.

November 2007:  Fourteen Junior Friends in attendance.  We spray-painted the snowflake ornaments made last month and also made pipe-cleaner and pony bead snowflakes for the tree lighting.

December 2007:  Eight Junior Friends attended the tree lighting ceremony at the Town Hall.  They decorated the tree with the ornaments that they made at previous meetings.  At the regularly scheduled December meeting a pizza party was held to thank all the Junior Friends for a very productive year.
