Also be sure to check www.bronxvillechamber.com starting Thursday, May 10, for Mother's Day Special Offers from the Bronxville Chamber of Commerce!
Also of note...
This week is National Children's Book Week, and in honor of the occasion, Womrath Bookshop will donate 10% from the sale of all children's books to the children's room of the Bronxville Public Library. This applies to purchases now through Sunday, May 13, 2012. This gives all of us an extra reason to shop there this week and perhaps stock up on gifts for upcoming parties and school graduations. Better yet: Why not buy a book there and donate it to the library? Spread the word to benefit our local library!
Happy Mother's Day!
Be loyal--shop local!
