Thank you Vino Latte for generously pledging to support the DPIL of Marathon County in honor of Dolly's memory. Dolly started DPIL because, as she put it, her dad "was the smartest man I have ever known but I know in my heart his inability to read probably kept him from fulfilling all of his dreams." Her goal was to inspire a love of reading in children by providing them with free books they could call their own. Thank you for helping us continue her mission.
Inside the mind of a Coffee Shop/Wine Boutique owner:
I am genuinely saddened to hear of Dolly Parton's passing. Not because I knew her, of course, but because she always seemed to represent something we need more of in this world.
She could be tough and still be kind. Successful and still generous. Beautiful and glamorous without taking herself too seriously. She knew exactly who she was, didn't apologize for it, and used what she had to make life a little better for other people. That's a pretty amazing legacy.
My mind is whirling... How can Vino Latte help make the world better and honor this wonderful lady? I have an idea!
This September, we're celebrating Dolly at Vino Latte with two specials: The 9 to 5 Latte and The Jolene refresher.
Even better, $1 from every Dolly drink sold will go to the Marathon County Dolly Parton Imagination Library ( ), supporting Dolly's belief that children should have books of their very own.
So come have a drink and turn the passing of Dolly into something good.
Work hard. Be kind. Be generous. Be yourself. And when you're fortunate enough to do well, do some good. Even in small doses!
