Wonder Valley Sand Paper online.

The Wonder Valley Sand Paper, published now and then by Ken and Teresa Sitz, will be online for the foreseeable future. The WVSP began as a hard copy only publication designed to get people OUT of their cabins once a week. It was distributed at The Palms Restaurant and Bar and at the Wonder Valley Community Center. Now that both of those venues are closed, the WVSP will be available online, so STAY IN your cabins and read the WVSP online.

For the March 29, 2020 issue, go to: https://tinyurl.com/wvsp03292020

And remember,
"The WVSP is published by Ken and Teresa Sitz as the spirit moves. If you want something more regular, publish your own paper. If you don’t read the WVSP you’ll be uninformed. If you do read it, you’ll be misinformed. The editors are not responsible. For more information, please re-read."

Thanks.

I would like to personally thank all the VOLUNTEERS who participated in todays USDA Food distribution.  If it were not for all of the volunteers who gave it their all there would not have been a distribution.  Remember, these folks truly love living in the desert and doing all they can for the community.

Big thanks to Ken and Teresa who we all know organized the event!
