| Dear Reader, |
The feedback on the
usefulness of the newsletter is amazing. You, our loyal readers, have responded
to our calls for help with a variety of opportunities.
For example, the last email
was sent out at 5:30pm. By 10 am the
next morning over 20 people had filled out the survey about your vision for
revitalization. We are up to 41 people giving us their opinion. If we had that
many people attend a public meeting to gather their input, we would be excited.
The Reliance Inn has donated
a $50 gift certificate to this project. At the end of the survey, you can enter
into a drawing for this prize!
So, if you have not already
completed the survey, please go to the site and give us your opinion on what we
should be doing over the next five to seven years!
