The Icon snapped this photo before the school year ended - at Bluffton Child Development Center. It's art from the Center's after school artists. The subject is shade trees.
Attached are some photos from the Bluffton Public Library Fun Day on June 4. It was a huge success.
Every Summer Program kick off event brings several hundred, and we think this year was the largest crowd we've seen for a Kick Off.
Among popular events were the involvement for the Touch-a-Truck and llamas as we had Hard Rock Llama Co., a Bluffton Exempted School District school bus and Bobcat, the Bluffton EMS, fire truck, police vehicles, and someone even brought a motorcycle.

When I said that VOSH-Ohio was going to provide eye care to the primary school children at Sint Maarten, someone asked if we were traveling by cruise ship!
There are other ways to get there...even though many people relate to St. Maarten as a port-of-entry for cruise ships. Our host, Lion Davey, mentioned to me that St. Maarten has had as many as five cruise ships in port at one time.
