GRAND DESERT DAYS         
April 10, 2010    


Sponsored by General Federated Woman's Club - Morristown, Inc.,
P.O. Box 58, Morristown, AZ 85342
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.


The Next Meeting will be announced and be staged at 7 pm in the Circle City/Morristown Volunteer Fire Dept. Building on Castle Hot Springs Road. Call 623-388-9613 for more detail
All interested in participating or volunteering are encouraged to attend.


The communities of Morristown, Circle City, Mobile Gardens and Wittmann are hosting a Grand Desert Days Festival on April 10, 2010 to raise funds for a community library and children's literacy projects.
