Greetings!
As the weather gets warmer (thank goodness!), our datebooks get filled up faster and faster with events to attend, people to see, and things to do. In our newsletter editions we hope to bring news of all events and happenings pertaining to the people of Nelson and Munsonville.
In order to ensure that nothing gets overlooked, we invite you to visit the online calendar, located at http://movinginstep.org/calendar and post your group or committee's upcoming events and/or announcements. The calendar is very easy to use. You may be asked to sign up for an account (it's FREE), and each posting will be placed into a queue for approval.
And, if you'd like to help spread the word, there's a link at the bottom of each newsletter issue so that you can forward it to a friend.
As always, we sincerely thank you for reading our newsletter issues.
