Connie Carlson, Helen Cooney and Sylvia Barto, members of Clermont Woman’s Club, delivered 43 Dr. Seuss books to Clermont Head Start. The books were donated by members and delivered on March 2nd, Dr. Seuss’ birthday. The staff, including center manager Gabrielle Hastings, were dressed for the day and enthusiastically accepted the books. Club members are volunteering to read to the children on a regular basis.
