No answer yet.SouthLakesMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08822510653198676631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1484142014229407289.post-53149706122825817782011-02-19T01:18:44.296-05:002011-02-19T01:18:44.296-05:00I am thinking that you might want to ask the libra...I am thinking that you might want to ask the library why they are promoting this. It does seem like the publicity should have been confined to the schools involved and not broadcast to the county at large when most of them aren't eligible.quillyhttp://quilldancer.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1484142014229407289.post-69276831458715692102011-02-18T20:21:44.581-05:002011-02-18T20:21:44.581-05:00It doesn't seem quite fair.

And, it does seem like a slap in the face to advertise it in the public library...why don't they just publicize it in the high schools that can participate?Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11533317405680450964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1484142014229407289.post-80515071266131715922011-02-18T14:03:42.111-05:002011-02-18T14:03:42.111-05:00I think the donors do have the right to use the fu...I think the donors do have the right to use the funds for students in their own neighborhoods, but then promoting it should be done via the schools. That just seems more reasonable. <br /><br />-----------------------------------<br />My photography is available for purchase - visit <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/aroundtheisland" rel="nofollow">Around the Island Photography</a> and bring home something beautiful today!Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02409530202277375625noreply@blogger.com
