vernonia’s voice welcome september 2007 a letter from the editor.... VERNONIA’S Well it’s back-to-school time with another season about to begin. Football games, crunching leaves and crisp night air are ahead. Children will be out and about and back to their normal routines. With the increase in traffic and back-to-school activity, we encourage drivers to be extra aware of pedestrians and cyclists – no matter what community you find yourself in. We’re busy here at Vernonia’s Voice too. Back-to- school means more content for the paper. We’re cur- rently seeking students over the next few weeks that have a desire to bring the school’s news and photos to the community. Please don’t be shy – we want to hear from you if you’re interested in this role! As we move into another month, preparing now for the October issue, we look forward to hearing from more of the community. People are contacting us more and more each month, and we love it! Do you have a story you want to tell? Or need help telling? An engagement to announce, a new baby or grand- baby? Please contact us. Lastly, we will begin publishing “Letters to the Editor” starting with the October issue, space permitting. We continue to appreciate the support from our ad- vertisers, readers and subscribers. Have a great month!
