We asked readers to contribute personal
news about family Christmas doings• this
year and were deluged with comingi and
goings. Thanks to everyone who shared their
news with the rest of us,
However, the social season doesn't end
with the New Year. People are always
interested about who's in town, who's
having a baby and where the first robin of
spring was sighted.
When you have news; just give us a call or
.drop into, the office. That's what yoUr local
paper is all about. We try out best toteep up
with the "hard new?' in the area but'
sonietimes we miss a beat. yOu've picked
ups on something we overlooked, don't.
grumble: give us a calf. As for the, "soft
• news" • of personal doings, that's where the
reader.can really help out. Together, we can
produce, a warm, friendly,paper that reflects
the area and the lifestyle-we enjoy.
The lOcal paper is also a forum for public
opinion. If you've got something to say, why
not say it 'in a letter to the editte Thete's
nothing like the printed word for, getting a ,
message geOpS.
In sum, thanks for all- the cooperation
shown in the past and we're looking forward
Vt, to hearing from you agaiti soon.
