Issues & Projects for March / April / May

  • Calendar events have really ticked up!
  • Ordered & received new keyboard from Amazon as approved at March meeting. Works great!
  • Busy time for news releases.
  • Receiving a lot of non-related voice mail messages, thanks to Google directing people to our website, but people not reading the details.
  • Jenie and I met with Gillis for coffee to discuss board responsibilities.
  • Quickbooks keep crashing repeatedly. Spent over an hour troubleshooting before I found a (for now!) fix.
  • File Federal and State tax forms.
  • Review census data. 2021 data for local areas not yet released.
  • Last month I was in correspondence with HGTV regarding photo usage. Requested David Burton look over a release they requested we sign. Update: David gave his approval, but when I got back with HGTV there were all sorts of complications and hoops, so I decided it wasn't worth the time/exposure risk and let it go.

    Did You Know?

    The highest point in Indiana is located in Wayne County, northwest of Bethel. At 1,257 feet, it is known as “Hoosier Hill”, but that title is a bit ironic.
