In addition, if you would like to, please bring a food item highlighting your ethnic heritage. As an example I may bring in Cabbage and Kielbasa representing my Polish heritage or Friendship Bread representing my Amish heritage. So what is your heritage?
Special note: In order to make sure everyone stays safe; all members will be escorted to their vehicles when they leave. In addition, there should be no fewer than 3 people in the library. Also the Sumner Police Department will be made aware of the plan to have people in the building overnight.
