Happy New Year to all my fellow bloggers

Family time, especially during the holidays, takes priority over everything in our home. So,I have no new discussion issues to post at this time. I thought I'd open a 2009 opportunity for predictions. Serious, silly, or knowledgeable insight....let's hear what our community looks for in the new year.

I am optimistic for the coming year. We have a new president. Elections are coming for our local officials and District 131 school board members. I feel confident, that a good mix for good government in Aurora will be in place this next year.

For fun, share your predictions for East Aurora.

131 Director won't blow his own horn......

So I will!
