We would also like to thank Paw Paw’s Medicine Cabinet for their entertainment and to all the businesses who donated items to the silent auction.
Congratulations to the winning team. Their wine, Fat Cat Pinot Noir, was voted the most favorite wine of the night! They won the grand cache’ of 29 bottles of wine!
Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library was designed to encourage reading to preschool children. Each month after a child is registered-up until their 5th birthday-a carefully selected, age-appropriate book is sent to the child’s home. There is no cost to the family; UWSWA provides the books free of charge. Currently, children living in Choctaw County or Mobile County zip codes 36509, 36582, 36587, 36605, 36610, 36615, or 36617 are eligible.
