We recently installed a new book vending machine at the Salida Club. Members will earn tokens to select their favorite books to take home. This machine, and the books inside it, were sponsored by Atmos Energy. Thank you Atmos for helping build GREAT readers!

Our great friends at Stoke BBQ hosted our Club kids to hear from Big Chief Juan Pardo and eat a delicious lunch. Big Chief Juan Pardo read his book to the kids, performed a traditional dance, and instructed us through a beading activity. Stoke supplied us with a delicious lunch after the activity. 

Thank you to our local partner agency, Guidestone, for bringing some of their produce grown at Salida Middle School over to the Club and helping our kids run their very own farmstand! Our kids loved advertising and operating the farmstand, and even took home some new produce to try with their families.
