Hello All,
Hopefully you have had a chance to visit the Tampico
Historical Society web site this past month. You'll note
that I have revamped its "look." This was partially for
appearance sake, but my goal was to make the site easier to
navigate. The same information is there, but I have
"catagorized" everything to make your selections/searches a
little easier. Click on any highlighted (colored) word and
it will take you to the page referenced. Click your back
button or "Home" to return to the front page.
There are a few "quick reference" tabs at the top of the
page, but these are certainly not ALL of the pages. The
front page has Six catagories: "History & Biographies,"
"Photo Albums," "Cemeteries," "Ronald Reagan," "Local
Government (a NEW section!)," and "Miscellaneous." Click on
any of the subtitles to access those pages. A few subtitles
are not highlighted, which means it will be coming soon! I
hope you enjoy the new format. Please post a line or two
when you visit in the "Guest Book" and let me know what you
think.
There is a new section "Local Government" which is
monitored by Commissioner Tim McLoughlin. His goal is to
get the town involved with what is happening and give them
a voice. This is best achieved by attending the Village
meetings. But, if he can't get you to the meetings, he will
bring the meetings to you! The minutes of prior meeting are
posted, the Calendar section lists all of the meeting dates
and times and there is an interactive "VILLAGE FORUM."
Currrent discussion is on creating a Chamber of Commerce
for the Tampico/Yorktown/Deer Grove areas. In put is wanted
and needed. You also have the option of starting a new
topic of discussion as well. I hope to see this forum
really take off. You can write in anonymously if you
choose.
If you have a Community Event planned, please contact me
and I will post it on our Calendar. I am also starting a
Directory of local businesses. If you have a business in
Tampico, Yorktown or Deer Grove and would like it listed,
please contact me.
There is also a "search this site" search engine now. This
is updated once per week. It is a convenient tool, but
please don't use it as your only source. Some things are
not picked up by their index crawler. As always, you can
email me if you have any questions or concerns. Just click
on my name on the home page or go to the "Contact Us"
section of site.
