Merry Christmas, Latimer!
As we reflect on this past year, I'm sure many of you have had your share of joys and sorrows.  As we reflect on this blessed and holy season, let us not forget to also give thanks for all the good things we have to be thankful.  For me, it is always my faith, my family, and my friends.  It is truly what makes life abundant even in the darkest hours.

So, I invite you to email me and tell me why you are thankful and I will post on the site.
I also wish all of you the best Christmas ever and a safe, healthy, and blessed 2010.

Changes to website - I will post yard sales, special congratulations, and special events at the community center or your churches.  You may email me at wanda@latimercommunitynews.com.

I am also looking for people who will post the website sign in their front yard.  If you are interested, please contact me via the website.
