2 . the catoctin banner . September 2009<br />
from the publisher<br />
Dear Reader:<br />
While I’m out and about collecting photos, articles and advertisements, I see<br />
and talk with a lot of people all over the area. The nature of this public service<br />
carries a lot of interaction that results in knowing how people really feel about<br />
a number of topics but most commonly what I learn is how people feel about<br />
our community. I encounter many who are genuinely happy and appreciative<br />
of others. I encounter the doers who help, over and over again, with an event, a<br />
service or an organization as a volunteer. I encounter business owners who give<br />
back to us either financially or with their time.<br />
It is our intent that The Catoctin Banner communicates with our readers in<br />
a respectful manner about good people and businesses to give us all a lift. As<br />
our economic conditions become more strained, it is even more important to<br />
appreciate those who continue to give. Please take time from your busy schedules<br />
to say “Thank You.”<br />
I’m going to take a little minute here to say “Thank You” to our advertisers.<br />
The Catoctin Banner exists due to the advertising support of those featured in<br />
each publication. We don’t have sponsors who support this service. The Catoctin<br />
Banner is a public service publication for which the cost of printing and mailing<br />
are paid in full by our advertisers. They have remained consistent even in our<br />
tough economic times. Thank you.<br />
I hope that you will patronize the advertisers who reach out to you through The<br />
Catoctin Banner. Many of our advertisers change the content of their ads from<br />
month to month, so look closely. You may even find some discount coupons. Tell<br />
them you saw them here at The Catoctin Banner!<br />
