also saying that we all have
other occupations and, for part
of each month, put on our
" newspaper hats."

About 40 of these are mailed to
subscribers. The rest are
available, free of charge, at
most Greentown businesses by
the first of each month.
We are extremely appreciative
of our advertisers and hope
readers will patronize them.
That was one reason we founded
the Grapevine - to bring to the
public's consciousness the
presence of Greentown area
businesses. There will always be
a special spot in our hearts for
the first two businesses to
respond to the call for
advertisers - Eastern Realty
and the Sawdust Shop.
It is our hope that readers are
en joying the newspaper and are
finding it useful to inform of
future and past events and
accomplishments.
