Although our last blog featured "Friends of Lafferty Park," as a volunteer group that has made a difference, we failed to identify a few of the volunteers who helped their cause: Bill Kortum, Larry Modell, and Matt Maguire. There are many additional non-profit organizations and individuals that have initiated projects [...]

Volunteers Can and Do Make a Difference

For the past few weeks, I've been sitting on the sidelines, blogging-wise; but, now that the football season is over, it's time to become active, as a Petaluma blogger.

Is your neighborhood ready to build a “STOOL?”

Hammerhead slept in until 6:15, this morning, but leaped out of bed with an idea for a symbol to represent PetalumaNET (2.0), so he woke up Eagle-Eyes and asked, "What do you think about this? It's a STOOL. Yup, another acronym has been created and Eagle-Eyes, thought it would get [...]
