Thank you to everyone who sends e-mail to me for printing.  I really appreciate your help. Please send any monthly meeting information to me.  Sometimes I will forget that your organization has a standing meeting on a certain day of the month, such as a Ruritan meeting on the second Tuesday.  I want this column to be for you.  I enjoy letting everyone else know what is important to Tellico and area readers.

You can call 253-3454 to report any information that you would like to see in this column.  You can email me at bep98twc@charter.net to have your news reported as well.
