VOLUME 4, NUMBER 227
Friday, October 20, 2023
Good evening. Apologies for not getting the newsletter out this afternoon — my lateness related to a busier-than-usual Thursday and Friday. In the newsletter today: The Philomath Area Chamber of Commerce has a new director in Chelle Krantz. Plus, lot of sports, including coverage of yesterday’s Senior Night games in girls soccer and volleyball. Boys soccer and cross-country also competed away from home.
Thanks for reading!
