April Fool’s Day is on a Thursday. Be quick that day! Easter and Russian Easter are both on the 4th of April. Taxes are due on Thursday, April 15th. Earth Day is on the 22nd.
I went to a Library Conference the first part of March; I thank you for sending me there! I wanted to copy myself 5 times more so that I could go to all the interesting sessions! I felt like a sponge during that time, absorbing everything and anything that I saw and heard!!! The most important thing the speakers who did Oral History sessions told me is to have patience! One of our goals for next year is to record histories for the community of Igiugig.
