News : Vinton Today says, \'Thanks!\'

Readers, you're doing it again.

You're making it impossible NOT to love living here!

Many of our readers have taken the time to send in donations to help with the cost of this adventure, and we want to take this opportunity to thank you so much!

Some of you are probably like I am, and think, "I NEED to do that, I NEED to do that..." and you just keep forgetting. :)

Stop reading right here, get out your billfold, and simply click here!

There, wasn't that simple?

Seriously, we DO appreciate all of you who have shared some of your resources with us so that we can take a little of the burden off of our dear friends at Monkeytown.

Your kind words have meant so much to us as well.

I used to chuckle when I'd find notes stashed in Dean's desk drawer at work, people would send him a note and simply thank him for a job well done.

Now I understand why. I have some of those notes hanging next to my computer. On those long days/nights that I feel like all I've done is stare at my computer screen, just glancing up at those papers makes me smile...maybe I'm a people pleaser, but I'd do this just for the smiles if it kept the lights on!

I can honestly say, the format of an online, er, um, newspaper,

which we are not, no more, not, not at all, not either, in no way, not even in the slightest little bit associated with...

has been the most eye opening way to see our community and get feedback about what you love and want to see.

This format has a weird way of making me feel closer to each of you, even though most of you I wouldn't know if I met you on the street!

It STILL feels like a honeymoon, and has been nothing but a good experience, thanks to all of you wonderful folks!

I just wanted to pop in here, and again say a huge THANK YOU, for your donations, (keep them coming in) but most of all, thank you for all of the warm fuzzies you give us, YOU'RE THE BEST!
