SPRING CLEANING YOUR BOOKMARKS
We've been having a bit of trouble with our original domain name, http://www.waynet.wayne.in.us. It is still viable, but due to the changes at the registrar and with our web host, it has been down from time to time in recent months. We suggest that you check your hyperlinks and re-bookmark WayNet at our shorter, easier to remember URL:
http://www.waynet.org

Thanks!
