WAWOTA - Wawota would like to welcome some more Ukranian families to our town. They are Mykailo and Yustena Ivasuityn (Lubov's parents), and Liubomyr (Luke) and Tatina Kuchma and their son, Maksym (friends of Andrii and Svitlana) and Taras Fedyshn (a friend of Alexandro).
We are pleased to be able to offer these families accommodations and eventually work.
The Wawota Public Library Book Club met at the library on April 24 to discuss their latest book Five Quarters of the Orange by Joanne Harris.
