We

| We recently received a USDA RBEG grant to initiate
a rural business assistance project that will hire a part time student
to organize a "mystery shopper assessment" and provide marketing
assistance to local businesses. The project will also provide funding
for individual business signs and downtown business signs for some of the
communities. |
