September is here! Soon the holidays will come creeping up on us. I'm so happy to welcome new posters to HPO. We have a great bunch of posters and have lot's of fun. Check out the many programs that HPO has to offer. Hope you are thinking about entering your site into the Award of Excellence contest that we have each month.

Get ready for our September 11 Memorial Sig Parade and share your thoughts about where you were that morning and the impact it had on your life. Also, we'll be seeing our traditional Halloween site contest. Don't be late.

See ya on the board!

Hi Everyone,

Summer is winding down and I hope you have been in the outdoors enjoying everything.

Now that the kids are going back to school, there will be more time to work on websites.

I want to thank all of you that are participating in the awards program. You are doing great work.

Happy Labor Day

Hi everybody. It's Septemberrrrrrr here in Minnesota which means the snow has just finished melting. HA!

On the 16th Jeannie & I celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary. Hurray for us. For her present I got her a brand-new snow shovel with her name on it.

The POW award has gone smoothly as well as Norm's "Welcome Otter". Norman was also named HPO "Mascot". and inducted into the HPO Family Photo Album. Don't let an Otter get ahead of YOU. Send your photo for the album to Rusty now.

There should be a flurry of new pages with all the big holidays coming up. If Rusty gets a breather there may be some more sig contests and stuff. She works too hard.

Don't let the group count slip. Check in when you can. Remember HPO "Roll Call" is on the 15th of each month and the last Friday of each month is S & H Green Stamp Friday. Be there or, well, you know.

YOUR Staffers. Bruce & Norman
