Question 1-
I think Horizons blogging has been a great way to get information to our Kooskia Horizons community as well as other local communities that we are connected to. I think we need to have a link to the city of Kooskia to have our information read by those who may not be in Horizons. Also get word out to our local communities that Horizons has a blog and give directions to get there. To improve the blog, we could use more authors. Kooskia Horizons is sponsoring another blogging class locally on April 18th, from 2:00-5:00 at the Kooskia Technology Center. For more information or to sign up for the class, call 926-7848.
Question 2-
A PUG Mark is found in Kendrick/Julietta. A new service group leaves these for others to see. When you find one, you know that someone is performing “Random Acts of Kindness” for the community.
