Pats on the Back
Friday, December 19, 2008
Each Friday, The Gazette salutes those who make Emporia and the surrounding area a better place to live and work. Give these folks a pat on the back ...
EMPORIA STATE Federal Credit Union, which unveiled plans for a new branch office at 24th Ave and Industrial Road. The new building will have the same Tudor look as their downtown branch at 310 W. 12th Ave.
- The Emporia Arts Council, which increased their membership 67 percent over last year. They have added a 120 new members to reach a record 300 members.
- Richard Meseeker, who won its $100 in The Emporia Gazette’s Shop at Home for Holidays contest.
- People who attended the Emporia Municipal Band’s Christmas concert. The event helped raise $1,500 for the band.
- Organizers and participants of Hunt for Hunger. The event raised $3,500 for the Beau Arndt scholarship and hunters contributed 3,000 pounds of processed meat for the community.

I came on-line tonight to try to make contact with someone at The Gazette..... it is UNsuprising to me that, unless I overlooked it, you DON'T WANT CONTACT from your readers. I --- FOR ONE --- am NOT SURPISED. HOW VERY SAD.
Please let me know how I can contact the owner of the paper. I'd really like to tell you about my experiences with The Emporia Gazette --- IF YOU CARE !

justthinkin,
down at the bottom of this and every other page, there is an option bar that includes "Contact Us." It has mail, e-mail for a variety of topics and phone numbers. The bar is under the adds; you have to scroll to the very bottom. If you can't find it there, here is the direct link: http://www.emporiagazette.com/contact/ (copy and paste into browser)
Good luck

oh4theluvof ----- Thank you, I appreciate the help. I guess I don't have the patience to search for something I thought should be obvious.
