March comes in with a burst of Sunshine!
March 2010 greeted winter-weary residents with a welcome warm-up, brilliant sunshine, and blue skies! Stoddard Country residents shed their long underwear and heavy coats to rush outside and enjoy a preview of Spring. Farmers took advantage of the dry weather to till their fields and get ready to plant their crops.
These are the core activities happening in Advance for the month of March. Please feel free add to the ones that we missed - and check back for updates.

With $1,000 in regularly-budgeted city funds, they will now be able to receive $5850 from the foundation, with which to purchase 3 new computers. They plan to continue fund-raising for Phase II of the process, which will result in 2 more computers at 50% matching of $2600/$2600.
