ANNOUNCEMENTS

Advertising Tip:
Tourism publications may be enticing, but they can also be very expensive. Don’t lose focus on your local market! Potential customers from your marketplace are your bread and butter, and it’s important not to be complacent when it comes to your local advertising. Word of mouth and social media is only going to account for a small percentage of your potential business. Keep local residents constantly reminded you’re there, and informed of new products and promotions, new displays, sales, etc.

Keep the buck in town by not only showing off the great services you provide, but also by spending your advertising dollars locally.

Email or call The Community Press now, and we can work within your budget to create a local campaign.

CARD OF THANKS

The family of Gwendolyn Stark (Butler) wishes to express sincere appreciation to all relatives, friends and neighbors for those many acts of kindness, messages of sympathy, and donations we received at Gwenda’s service. We also would like to offer our thanks to those that participated in the service and especially to Pastor Gloria Swain, Fee and Sons Funeral Home, and the Strome Seniors for all their help and support during this time. In lieu of Thank you cards, a donation to the Strome Church has been made.
