MOVIE NIGHT WAS ANIMATED. COSMICALLY FUN. ANYTHING BUT ROBOTIC. (INSERT MORE WALL-E PUNS HERE.)

Happy summer! On June 23, about 45 StPLC friends and family gathered outside at dusk for games, popcorn, and fun. The littles jumped in the bounce house, and the bubble machine was on full blast. Steve Howie muscled a movie screen into place, and Wall-E rolled at sundown. Thanks to Mary Pratt and all who helped make the night possible! Stay tuned for more summer fun with the StPLC community.
