BENEFIT EVENT – For the second year in a row, the Flenniken Public Library’s Assistant Director, Jessica Miller, plans to enjoy a dip in the Monongahela River on New Year’s Day. She will be dressed as the Flenniken Flamingo again this year. The event is a fundraiser that is held because drastic measures are needed to help replace the 30 percent decrease in state funding the library has experienced over the last three years. Stop in, call the library or mail a check to make your pledge of support for the event. Help to keep library services in eastern Greene County funded in 2012.
