I’ve been receiving requests, from other
library branches in
Ffx County, about my Citizenship Classes. People are looking for curriculum and training.
I will be training and consulting with other volunteers, between now and January when my next session begins.

Fabulous guided tour of Sledmere House today, absolutely fascinating, What a wonderful house & home (it is still lived in, not just a museum). Highly recommended. The estate is also well worth visiting.
