Dubuque365 Livewire - Friday, October 6, 2011
Hey, an Indian Summer! We'll take it. The only thing better than leaves changing and carmel apples is enjoying both in short sleeves! We also apologize for this arriving late or in an odd fashion. Our e-mail service provider, icontact.com is apparently terrible at their job and we will be finding another vendor before next Friday. If you are looking for a system to use for managing your mailing lists, choose ANYONE ELSE FIRST! Moving on...
