My thanks go out to the 445 of you who have cast votes in our inaugural Best of Guthrie County poll. For those of you who have not, you have until 5 p.m. on Monday, July 15 to make your voice be heard on the best people, places, events and more in the area. Vote now by clicking here. 

If you have the task of hiring people, or you are a person who is looking for a job, be sure to check out our free job board here. Free to view help wanted ads. Free to place help wanted ads. This is a free service we provide to help employees and employers make the area an even better place to work. We currently have 15 ads on the site, and we want to have dozens more so this can truly be an employment resource. Check out the site and be sure to place your free help wanted ads. 

We have now received more than 150 photos of local veterans for our upcoming Veterans Salute that will publish in our October issues of Lake Panorama Times, Panora Times and Guthrie Center Times. The photos can be viewed here, and I encourage you to check them out, as you will know many of the names and faces. If you have a family member or friend who was or is in the military, or if you are a veteran yourself, please submit your photo so we can recognize even more of those who served our country.

As we inch closer to 1,000 subscribers to this noontime newsletter, I want to thank all of you who subscribe and read. I ask that you help us out by sharing this email with family members or friends who you think may have interest in Guthrie County news. They can sign up for their own free copy of the digital Times Vedette here, which also provides options to receive digital editions of our Lake Panorama Times, Panora Times and Guthrie Center Times magazines. 

If you are reading this, you are likely already a subscriber to the Times Vedette email editions. I encourage you to continue to read it via this format. I also realize that some people don’t use email regularly and would prefer a text message with a link to the news. For those folks, we created a simple sign-up page that texts a link to the updated newsletter each Tuesday and Friday. I personally subscribe via this option, as do many of our staff members. It is another great way to receive and read Guthrie County news and information. Sign up for the text version here.   

We appreciate being able to provide these additional features, and we look forward to continuing to serve you in new ways. 

Have a fantastic Friday, and thanks for reading.
