This Year's Volunteer Award goes to Elaine Allan. Elaine is a relatively new member, having only recently joined the Friends. She has been very active working in the basement on both Tuesdays and Saturdays as well as working a lot of hours at the big book sale. In addition she has been active in supporting literacy programs at various Austin Schools; especially Pecan Springs Elementary, where she has provided them with over 2000 books. We have donated some of these books; however, she has been able to get donations from other sources as well. To top all this off this University of Texas Law School graduate is a wife, mother of two children, and is currently studying to pass the Texas Bar examination in January 2001.
