The article this week is written after much thought. If at all possible, the purpose is not to offend but be positive, encouraging, and informative as more than Village citizens read the Salado Village Voice; so do visitors and elected state/federal leaders.

I had few friends because in school, I thought every one was talking about me or looking at me.”
