Hey everyone, I just wanted to let you know about a FREE Classified Ads website strictly for the Central Valley. I have just volunteered to help with the moderating of this site because I think this would be a great resource for the central valley. So , basically I am trying to get the word out.

Check the site out at: http://www.valleyposting.com

Register and post what you are trying to sell, buy, services offered, help wanted, etc. This is just like the famous Craigslist but it is only for us locals and it looks and functions alot better too.

Hope to see you all there!

Healthy Dairy Friends,

The County just released a draft zoning framework that could include
clean air standards. However, this first draft ordinance does not
include ANY standards that will directly improve air quality in Fresno
County! We must act now to show the County that we support Clean Air
policy Tuesday, April 10 at 6 p.m. at the County Plaza Ballroom (info
attached).
