Dear Reader,

Soon we will celebrate Labor Day on Monday, Sept. 3. This day honors the labor movements and the contributions that workers have made to the prosperity and well-being of the country.

This event gives us all a chance to thank the employees who serve businesses so well. In our tiny corner of the world we could not be more grateful for all of the hard-working efforts of the people in our communities that serve the needs of our local businesses.

I would personally like to thank our employees that are so deeply committed to putting out the local news every week— the content that matters so much to you. We value their dedication to the Company and the personal bonds we all share.

Happy Labor Day!
