WOMEN WITH WORDS
ARAM PUBLIC LIBRARY
May 11
Mothers come in all shapes and sizes - and sometimes aren't our biological mothers. Honor the "mother" in your life with the gift of Women with Words.
Women with Words is an initiative to sponsor the new Youth Gallery Wall at the Aram Public Library in Delavan. The concept is to celebrate women as a legacy of love - ourselves, mothers, sisters, grandmothers, daughters, and friends. The Youth Gallery Wall - almost 50 feet in length - connects the Adult, Makerspace and Children's areas in the new building. A contribution is $500 with the honoree's name featured on this prominent wall with an overall fundraising goal of $50,000.
