Read the Thank you letter below from the Brookline Public Library
Hello, BAAFN -
Thank you for sponsoring the Brookline Public Library’s Mid-Autumn celebration! It was a wonderful success, in no small part due to the support we received from the BAAFN! On Sunday, September 11, over 400 attendees visited the library to decorate lanterns, create beautiful flower arrangements, stretch their brains with riddles, and (most importantly) enjoy mooncakes! You will be happy to know that our patrons were huge fans of the delicious snacks - so much so that by the time the event was over, we had completely run out of portions! Attached below you will find some fun photos for the event. Thank you for helping to create such a wonderful event for our community to enjoy! - Caroline Richardson and Rhonda Mah (Childrens Librarians) 
Attendees enjoy the festivities and delicious mooncakes
