January 15, 2008
Many new items today! I have included an expanded calendar and many school
news items. I will run Items for Sale and Ways to Help on Thursday.
Apparently Comcast has stopped supporting all Adelphia addresses. All of the
remaining Adelphia users in my mailing list were returned as
undeliverable with the last two newsletters. If you know anyone who was
using an Adelphia address please remind them to send me their new email
address so I can continue to send them the news. Due to the large number of
subscribers involved, I will not be making individual calls as I do when I
just have few returned emails. Thanks for your help.
Mark your calendar.....
