The holiday tree and decorations at Sample School were set up today. This year we have replaced the 6 foot tree used in past years with a 7.5 foot tree (This Tree from Home Depot). Stop up at the Municipal Center and take a look. Don't forget to vote for your favorite tree, or I mean, our tree. Thank you to Arlene, Irene and Joyce for helping me get this done today.

Comment Process Change

Up until now, anyone could leave a comment on the website, even without having an account, however that comment would not be published until it could be reviewed and approved. The end result is that we were collecting a significant amount of useless comments entered by spambots laced with potentially dangerous links to places you can't imagine.

Fernway is Home

(Prepared by Program Director, Thomas Cully) How would you like to live in the quiet countryside, but have neighbors? You would have a bucolic stream running through your plan of homes, and plenty of oak and cherry trees lining the backyards. Another amenity was that you would have a new access road that could take you to New York or Chicago in no time at all. Your home's design would allow you to never worry about a flooded or damp basement, or steps that would worry a young family with infants. Best of all, you would have a mortgage payment around $72 per month! Sounds great huh?
