More About The Third Pole:
The Third Pole is about a 100-year-old mystery, which is what lured Synnott up Everest during the spring of 2019, the season the came to be known as “the Year Everest Broke.” The mystery? On June 8, 1924, George Mallory and Sandy Irvine set out to stand on the roof of the world where no one else had stood before. They were last seen 800 feet shy of Everest’s summit still going strong for the top. Could they have succeeded? Irvine was believed to have carried a Kodak camera with him, but it, along with his body, has never been found. Could the film be found and show them on the summit before they disappeared, never to be seen again?
For more information about the event or to order a copy of The Third Pole, contact White Birch Books at 356-3200 or visit them online at www.whitebirchbooks.com. In case of inclement weather, the event will be held inside with strict protocols.

Feel Good Story of the Week: Girl Scout Shatters Record By Selling 32,484 Boxes of Cookies in One Season
Selling tens of thousands of Girl Scout cookies in just two months is an incredible feat and it’s only made more special when it’s done during a pandemic.
Eight-year-old Lilly Bumpus made it her mission to sell as many cookies as she could this season within the restrictions. She wasn’t able to go door-to-door or set up a table outside of a grocery store, but she could sell online and have a booth in the front yard of her San Bernardino, California, home.
Bumpus is a cancer survivor, and her troop is mostly made up of other kids who have either battled cancer, are still fighting it, or lost a loved one to the disease.
Her fellow Scouts showed up at her house to surprise Bumpus and share some good news: she sold 32,484 boxes of cookies, breaking the record for most boxes sold in a season.
About 5,000 of the boxes are being donated to pediatric cancer patients, homeless people, and soldiers serving overseas.
