The Bettendorf Discovery Shop will mark our 25^th anniversary on Thursday, March 14^th.  We are excited to celebrate the volunteers, donors, and shoppers that have made the Discovery Shop such a great fundraising success.  

One of the ways that we will be celebrating on Thursday will be with the start of our Jewelry Trunk Show event.  All of the beautiful items that we have been saving will help to make the shop look its best for our anniversary.  Jewelry of all kinds, jewelry boxes, plus a donation of over 1000 pieces of Avon jewelry will make it an event worth seeing.

We want to say "Thank You" to the generous supporters that the Discovery Shop has had over the years, without their help our success would not have been possible.
