Summer Breakfasts Return
Summer Breakfasts will return at 9:00 a.m. on June 7 and 14 at the Cracker Barrel restaurant on 441 in Lady Lake. We welcome all current members as well as those interested in learning about our Branch. We will also be setting dates for future breakfasts later in the summer.
Tech Trek Update
Abby L., one of the Tech Trek campers we funded in 2022, continues to receive awards and recognition. She has been accepted and raised funds to attend an AIM HIGH camp for future doctors. Abby has also been chosen as one of three students statewide to speak at the annual AVID summer conference in Orlando. To be in the AVID program, a student must maintain a 4.0 GPA. Oh, and as an 8th grader, she was selected to be a varsity cheerleader at Wildwood Middle School. And, all this as a 14 year-old. Wow! Way to go, Abby!
