Winona Davenport, seated at left, fondly known as Phillips’ “Queen of Volunteers,” claps Sunday during the 86th birthday party she threw for herself at the Phillips Area Community Center. She gathered hundreds of her old photos, newspaper clippings and useful items she no longer used or needed. She and her helpers put everything on tables and told visitors they were expected to take something home with them. Celebrating with her are, left to right in background, former Senator Tom Saviello, library director Hedy Langdon Stinchfield and library volunteer Anna Plog and her sons Eli and Emerson.
