Dear Reader:

Thank you to Mr. Bernard Neuhofer, the Shop Teacher at Major Pratt High School in Russell, MB, for facilitating the engraving of the names of the donors to the Russell & District Regional Library’s Donor Wall.  At long last, the vision of the former Board Chair, Rachel Chipelski, has been made a reality.  To all of our Donors, past, present, and future, Thank You!  Also, Thank you to our past, present and future Board Members, Patrons and Volunteers and to you, dear Reader. 

Ingratitude is worse than murder, adultery and tyranny.”
