I would be greatly remiss if I didn't take a moment to thank everyone at iCRV Radio in Ivoryton, Connecticut, for providing me the wonderful and outstanding opportunity to visit with LRB and Gwen today on their program, Library Chat. They brought Hogan's Hope to the CT River Valley and beyond! I had listeners from upper New York, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Florida contact me to tell me what a great program it was. (Co-host Kate was sorely missed!) These amazing women bring extraordinary programming that is personal, interesting, pertinent, and appealing to their listeners. Their amazing talents make it seem as if they are sitting right there at the coffee table with their audience chatting as long-time friends.

Library Chat helped promote that this week is Deaf Dog Awareness week and that the Chester Public Library is hosting a presentation for children on Saturday, September 29th at 10:30 AM. The program will educate these young folks on living with a deaf dog but, more importantly, will help them learn the lesson that everyone is worthy of love and acceptance. The message communicates that, with hope, anything is possible!

Thank you for continually caring about quality living and providing a positive, upbeat, and important conversation that may make the difference in someone's life.
