Volume 3, Number 46
Good Morning. It’s Friday, June 3, 2022
The number of new stories going up was limited yesterday with legwork that needed to get done on various stories I’m working on (fire district-related piece, Dax’s launch of a pickup portal, school district’s new special services director, feature on PHS graduate and more) plus some advertising work. I think we’ll be taking the kids to the PYAC Carnival tonight at the high school (it runs from 5:30-8:30 p.m.).
Thanks for reading!
