and Welcome.
Well, summer is coming to an end. OK it is still hot though, but
school has started, football season is upon us and the The International Rice
Festival is just around the corner. Update to street project - Nothing. It seems
that everything is on hold for now. It is not a closed subject, but for the most
part it seems that it is on a back burner for now.
We are also going to be listing some area merchants that have a web presence and we invite you to check their sites also. Hopefully in a couple of weeks we will have some if not all of the bugs worked out....
Also, We are currently
exploring the possibility of a CrowleyOnline Blog. Hopefully, the
response will be large enough as so we can rotate the moderator
every 3 - 6 months.
This will be a non paying job unless you want
to consider the glory as payment - LOL. We are looking for a
competent "Local Individual" who would be interested in being the
moderator. We do not care about your political affiliation as long
you are fair and balance on all sides of the issues. Suggestions are
also welcomed from anyone on what they would like to have the Blog
cover. You may contact us - Here.
