In Case You Missed It

As you may have noticed, this installment of In Case you Missed it is formatted a little different compared to the previous. We’ve had a busy beginning to November with the mid-term elections shaking up the county. There’s also been progress made on higher education projects and the awards season is coming in to swing and our region [and members] is getting a lot of recognition. Check out the collection of quite a few articles that range in topics from the two new judges in town to the 50 new acres of oyster reefs.
