Sittonbull aka John Sitton Joins Squidoo

Sittonbull aka John Sitton of Pendleton SC joins Squidoo and is an immediate success story. His first lens is one that he is having fun chronicalling his story of how he is Learning To Squidoo. I think John has really captured the interest of the Squidoo Community with his lens on the very basics of getting started. There are a lot of lenses out there to help newbies but they don't seem to touch on the problems that are encountered at the very beginning. Such basics as uploading your avatar in your profile can be extremely frustrating for the Newbie so Sittonbull shares his experiences in the hope that it will save someone else the problems that he experienced.

Sittonbull's first lens, Learn To Squidoo jumped in rankings from the get go and was ranked in the top tier on just his second day after publishing. The third day his ranking jumped even more to 958 overall. This is out of hundreds of thousands so Sittonbull is well on his way to becoming a great Squidoo-er!

Sittonbull has a wonderfully, amazing flare for writing and is passionate about such things as Water Conservation, Fishing, Hunting, Traveling, and being a Grandpa. You will want to follow his progress as he becomes more and more familiar with how to construct a lens because this man has lots to say and will say it in a way that will make each lens a great read!

Mighty glad to have you aboard, Sittonbull and very proud to know you! Congratulations on a fantastic start.

Friends of the Park Needs YOU!

Friends of the Park is holding it's first meeting of 2009 on January 19 at Pendleton United Methodist Church in the Social Hall. We really need some new active members and hope you will consider joining us. We just meet once a month and try very hard to hold those meetings down to one hour. Friends of the Park will need you more than ever since the Tax Referendum did not pass. In order for Veterans Park to move forward as planned, it is going to take all of us working together. If you care about the park and our children and our grandchildren, please join us for this meeting. We will be setting our goals for the year which will include among other things:

Completion of the entrance to Trotter's Trail
Promoting the sale of Pavers and Tiles for the Pavilion
Organizing Freedom Fest 09
Spring and Fall Maintenance Days for Barrett's Place Playground

Please visit our Friends of the Park lens at Friends of the Park

So, you see that we already have a good bit on our plate even more we meet and we need your help. A large percentage of our active volunteers are grandparents or have older children. We need everyone but it would be great to have some young parents with children who are enjoying the park now. We realize how busy parents are when they have their children involved in sports, etc. but this is just once a month meeting for 10 months as we don't meet in November or February. We only have one large fundraiser and that is Freedom Fest which is a lot of work but also a lot of fun!

We hope you will consider joining us and make a difference!
Thank you!
