HPIR down in 2013

It's a sad day for HPIR in the MO Book Challenge, and indeed for the whole district, as our District champeen reader Marian has opted out for this year of 2013. Folks, I laid on all the charm and good looks I could to persuade her to rejoin us, but alas. You will see that without her, our numbers are down.
