do send out info to other towns also in the interest of gaining new patrons and
retaining current patrons for our events. I think the opening of new area
businesses is an appropriate use of this list. I think there may be a point to
cutting frequent messages from our list, though. It's a good question and worth
considering. The question for me is where to draw the line. COC, I
appreciate your thoughts especially since they probably represent many others
also.<br>
