Hello folks,
The newsletter that I sent earlier this week evidently got mangled in some email clients.
I apologize for the additional posts... I have set up an email service for the Hillsborough Arts Council
so this shouldn't be a problem in the future.
When you receive the newsletter it's safe to click "display images" or "view remote content".
Thanks for your support of the HAC!
Mark
