Volunteers honored at luncheon

By SR Friends of the Library

The many dedicated volunteers who help make the Scripps Miramar Ranch Library so outstanding were recently honored at a volunteer appreciation luncheon sponsored by Scripps Ranch Friends of the Library. The volunteer committee, headed by JoAnn Sloan, created a festive decor. In the spirit of the “Hats Off to Volunteers” theme, attendees were invited to wear their finest chapeaus. Volunteers ranging from teens to octogenarians enjoyed camaraderie and a scrumptious buffet lunch.
