"I'd like to thank the Bluffton Library for hosting the Fred Steiner lecture last night. It was a fun and informative event."

The July 19 presentation by Fred Steiner at the Bluffton Public Library was a hit. We received the compliments above for "The Bluffton We Never Knew," attended by some 40 guests.

Interest in the program has resulted in an encore presentation at 6:00 p.m. on August 15.

Glasses cleaners and lip balm. Coupons. LOTS of coupons, including one for $50 off. Cinch sack coordinator Jenny Pilarowski estimates that the total value is $190.
