Men's Coffee is being held at the Happy Hour in Valmy, 9AM every Wednesday. $4
gets you unlimited coffee, donuts, and advice.
We have Neighborhood Watch stickers for windows
and cars. Below is the design, printed in dark green, 3 inches square. Contact
any board member for them.
Many members have asked for links to Internet speed tests. Here is
the one I have found most useful, and it is endorsed by Charter. Note that
it is limited by the CPU speed of your computer, so older computers won't
show the maximum thruput.
For local Charter customers, there are
three speed ranges:
5Mb/sec down, 512K up
10Mb/sec
down, 1Mb up
20Mb/sec down, 2Mb/sec up
The speed you get should match the speed you are paying for within
reasonable variations.
Here are links to the Irish songs mentioned on page 8 of the January 2007 newsletter.
All are sung by Chuck Hansen. Instruments and arrangements are by Laddie Chapman
with a little help from Internet MIDI sources.
All are MP3 files, which
should be easily playable by most computers. WARNING: These files are large (1 to 3MB each)
and a high speed Internet connection is advised.
To check on tax records or assessment numbers, these Door County sites are useful. The Land Records
site is the most current with text data only. For online maps and tax data,
use this site,but do not rely on the tax data as current.
The following are caretakers that service the Glidden area. Most
provide snow plowing and lawn mowing either on request or as part
of a seasonal contract.
This list is provided as a service to members
and does not indicate any endorsement by the Association. If you have been
left off or know of someone who has, please contact us for possible
inclusion.
Wednesday Mens' Coffee at the Hitching Post

$4 in the kitty gets you an unlimited supply of coffee, donuts and advice.
