Featured Photo: Each month, United Way of San Luis Obispo County selects a baby born at Sierra Vista Regional Medical Center and Twin Cities Community Hospital to enroll in the Imagination Library. These babies will receive a brand new book mailed to their home each month until they turn five years old. Pictured above, volunteer Lily Aanerud, with Jessica Ferrell and son Aldin, who was selected as the recipient from Twin Cities Community Hospital in March. Special thanks to Twin Cities for kicking off the program and sponsoring five babies who will receive the gift of Imagination Library!
