The General Federated Woman's Club-Morristown, a 501 (c) (3) organization, is chairing the event. The club won a GFWC-Arizona award in 2006 for working with the Maricopa County Library District to get bookmobile service started as a first step toward getting a permanent library for our underserved and growing population and for ongoing sponsorship and participation in literacy programs in the local schools and the club' Public Lending Library, housed in Old Main of Morristown School . Proceeds from this event will go toward meeting these goals.
Thank you Barbacue at Old Main of Morristown School from 5 to 6:30 pm.
