    Peg was an incredible individual who utilized her talent and treasure to ensure that 3 and 4 year-olds living in the Verde Valley have age appropriate books in their homes. Thanks to Peg’s leadership over 500 children are receiving books and being read to each month.  Her vision continues today with volunteers delivering books to 25 area preschools every month.  The books are read to the children as a group and each child is given a copy to take home.
