A HOLIDAY WISH FOR WAYNET
Our wish for the New Year is to increase the number of people who take advantage of WayNet - to learn more about their community, to find out what's going on each week, to find local businesses and not-for-profit organizations, to explore local opportunities.

YOU can play Santa this year by taking a minute to forward a copy of this newsletter to 5 people who would enjoy learning more about their community, easily locate local web sites, and exchange ideas with others who care about our community.

Thanks...and best wishes for good health and happiness this holiday!
Jane :)
