Leslee was an important member of the Saline community and dearly loved by all. There is a local initiative to create and install a sculpture in one of Saline's parks to honor Leslee's memory. The artist, Valerie Mann, was a close friend of Leslee's and is a friend to our Library. She has asked that I share information about the project with librarians who knew Leslee and may be interested in learning more and/or participating in the effort to fund the project, named Leslee's Smile. Please see the link below for an article about the artist and the sculpture project.</div><div><br></div><div>Thank you!</div><div>Mary Ellen Mulcrone</div><div><br></div><div> </div><div><br></div><div><a href="https://www.gofundme.com/Leslee-s-Smile" target="_blank" style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br></a></div><div><a href="http://www.thesalinepost.com/arts-entertainment/saline-artist-val-mann-talks-about-212s-last-show-sculpture-project-henne-field">http://www.thesalinepost.com/arts-entertainment/saline-artist-val-mann-talks-about-212s-last-show-sculpture-project-henne-field</a></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><br><div><br></div><div><span></span><div><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif;" data-mce-style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', sans-serif;">Mary Ellen Mulcrone</span><br><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif;" data-mce-style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', sans-serif;">Director</span><br><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif;" data-mce-style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', sans-serif;">Saline District Library</span><br><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif;" data-mce-style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', sans-serif;">555 N.
