Dear fellow Hanoverians:
\n\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAround Town on the Web\u201d happenings have been few and far between lately as we all got into the holiday spirit and\/or revved up for last night\u2019s New Year\u2019s Eve festivities.\u00a0 I thought I\u2019d take a moment therefore to thank you for your enduring support, words of thanks, and devoted readership.\u00a0 It\u2019s still amazing to me how this little endeavor to support the first request of a rejuvenated School Building Committee in 2004 has turned into a town-wide service to so many people and for so many reasons.\u00a0 I am further grateful for the expertise and assistance of Hanover resident Mike Van Lare \u2013 who literally came out of the woodwork this year and made it possible for me to send one e-mail to 800 Hanover computers per hour.\u00a0 Gone are the days of dodging Comcast\u2019s anti-spamming measures and not being able to meet the sometimes breakneck speed of e-mail requests.\u00a0 Yippee and thank goodness!<\/p>\n
\u00a0A couple of reminders for folks who wish for me to send out information \u201cATOTW\u201d:<\/p>\n

\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Your information will usually go out within a day or two of my receipt.\u00a0 Please plan your advertising campaigns accordingly.<\/p>\n
\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 I don\u2019t send reminders.\u00a0 I clog up people\u2019s in-boxes enough as it is!\u00a0 I will however send out revised information or cancellation notices if my time permits.<\/p>\n
\u00a0And for those new to \u201cATOTW\u201d, please know that I am a volunteer who is simply joyfully providing a service to my community.\u00a0 I promote non-profit Hanover events, and events sponsored by Hanover non-profit organizations.\u00a0 I occasionally send out info regarding for-profit organizations who are providing a free community service to Hanover residents.\u00a0 I have sent out information that is in support of the Hanover business community, but do ask that for-profits use traditional paid-for advertising.\u00a0 I also serve individual Hanover residents in need, and mention significant Hanover happenings and milestones.\u00a0 If something I send is not of interest to you, just hit delete!\u00a0 J\u00a0 I make connections, provide a resource, and bring people together.\u00a0 I shout good news from the rooftops!\u00a0 I hope that I encourage you to get involved, stay involved, and help to make Hanover the tremendous, affectionate, and united small town that it already is and will certainly continue to be with your devoted participation.<\/p>\n
\u00a0With fond regards and best wishes to you and yours for 2009, and for \u201cAround Town on the Web\u201d,<\/p>\n
