LYNNE BITTEN, Richland

The children and parents of the Richland Community School's co-op preschool would like to thank all the Tri-City small-business owners who gave so generously to enrich the educational experience of our preschoolers this quarter: West Richland Yokes for a wonderful tour of the store, Bill's Berry Farm in Sunnyside for a great fall experience picking pumpkins, Dr. Kelly Cote for education about immunizations, Aunt Franny's toys in Richland for toy donations and Rocco's pizza in Pasco for showing us how pizzas are made and feeding us delicious pizza.
