Main Street Fans -- <br>
</span></p>
<p class="Default"><span
style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; color: windowtext;">The
information below was in the Estacada Main Street August Newsletter.
Sheri Stuart thought you all might be interested and asked me to
forward you the information. This "class" will be "focused" on
Estacada, however, I ASSUME if you are interested, you'll learn the
skills to navigate to the information about your own community.<br>
</span></p>
<p class="Default"><span
style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; color: windowtext;">It's
a BEAUTIFUL drive to Estacada, if you should choose to join us for this
interesting class on Thursday morning September 5.<br>
</span></p>
<p class="Default"><span
style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; color: windowtext;">I
hope you're all getting out to enjoy this most amazing summer weather
we're having -- it's fleeting......<br>
