Dear Editor,

Dear Editor,
Thank you to everyone who participated in the American Red Cross blood drive on January 18. There were 162 people who came in to share their life-giving blood. We can feel proud we did our civic duty and helped to ensure lifesaving blood is available for hospital patients in need. It was an excellent drive!
We would like to thank our family and friends for all the hard work and many hours spent putting together “Amboo’s Rally.”
Dear Editor,
I watched the latest Commission meeting that was supposed to "discuss the possibility" of building a new golf course or purchasing the Prairie Trails Golf course.
The El Dorado City Commission has been discussing the 50 mile an hour speed limit on North Main for some time now. Mayor Tom McKibban brought up the issue because he says he is concerned about safety issues, especially for residents who live along North Main and high school students who have to turn out onto Main Street.
I wrote the following after reading John Grange's column on Nov. 9.
It would appear that the ballot which you have just received is invalid and as such needs to be rejected.
On Nov. 24, 2009, Butler County voters will be asked to decide how to best fund public safety communications improvements.
To Area Citizens,
Someone anonymously did a huge act of kindness for me. Whomever you are, thank you very much! I wish you would step forward so I can thank you personally.
The citizens of Washington, Clay, Dickinson, Marion, Butler, and Cowley counties have a new neighbor coming in the near future.
Dear Editor,
I'm writing you to point out the City Commissioner’s latest blunder, leasing the American Legion Golf Course.
