Editor's Note:

 

Greetings,

 

Sorry this is late. We have been looking at buying a home in Loveland and if all goes well we will move later this summer. However, we are so committed to church, the arts, the radio station and bands in Esters Park. that we will be commuting a 30 mile run for a long time to come. This newsletter will keep on going. Thanks for reading.
