PN Newsletter Volume 4, Edition 13, January 17, 2023

VOLUME 4, NUMBER 13
Good Afternoon. It’s Tuesday, January 17, 2023

I hope everyone had a relaxing Martin Luther King Jr. Day on Monday. If you didn’t have the chance, give Eric Niemann’s column a read. As this newsletter goes out to you all, I’ll be speaking to the Rotary Club (I’m a writer, not a talker, so I’ll likely stumble through it). This should be a good week for news. I’m working on stories about mail delivery, Millpond Crossing, the old theater in town and hopefully some business news, primarily what’s going on with Beggs Tires.

Thanks for reading!
