Hello everyone, summer seems to be flying by. There are so many things
we wanted to do this summer and we haven't been able to - I guess
there's still some time left.

If you have any future theatrical artists, musicians or vocalists,
then visit our Culture-The Arts page at http://www.masonmetu.com/culture---the-arts.php
and scroll down to the Cincinnati Arts Association post. They are
offering a FREE day long Overture Academy at the Arnoff Center for the
Arts. It's on Oct. 3 but you need to pre-register for this wonderful
opportunity.

If you are an expectant Mom who wants some help with all the baby
planning, visit Belly Bumps and see if Lynne Cope can help make the
road to babyhood a little easier. More info on Belly Bumps is on the
main blog page under New Finds.

In addition to some awesome plumbers (Hunt Plumbing), I also have a
great new electrician to recommend. His name is Mark Holzmacher of
Holzmacher Electric. If you ever need any electrical services, then
make sure you visit the Dicounts and Deals page on MasonMetu since
Mark has a $25 off coupon for a first-time customer. Go to
http://www.masonmetu.com/discounts-and-deals.php.

I took a break from my blog this week and have a guest blog from John
Odell posted. He is a retired educator who is running for the Mason
School Board and he really has some great things to say as well as
some solid plans for the Mason City Schools. If you get a chance,
read his guest blog on http://www.masonmetu.com.
