Outstanding work. Having ‘community bulletin board’ where we can all go to one space to see the events that are going on in our community is so needed. Thanks for taking on the task and making it a useful, successful tool in a media site that so many already rely on for their daily updates on what’s happening in our community.
Thank you for Ms. Cumorich! It has been a blessing to do what I can to help with Postmark. If you ever need anything, let me know.

If you do go to the LaFollette Library as Nancy Green suggests, be sure to tell her you want to check out book one in The LaFollette Chronicles series. It’s titled “The Capri Girl,” and is in the adult book section. Just a suggestion.
