KABAM receives $100 donation from Janet and Gary Watson

Kingman City Councilwoman Janet Watson and her husband, Mohave County District 1 Supervisor Gary Watson have donated $100 to support KABAM's use of Metcalfe Park in Kingman.

Janet Watson, a former teacher with Palo Christi and Manazanita Elementary Schools in Kingman, is an active member of the Kingman Friends of the Library, and remembers reading to her daughter every night. Recently while standing in Mohave County Library - Kingman, carrying a book she had just checked out, she stated she was an avid supporter of KABAM! and literacy. Ms. Watson indicated that her attendance at KABAM! Fest 2011 had been enjoyable and was looking forward to this year's event as well.

Thank you Janet and Gary Watson!
