Greetings my esteemed readership. Happy 4th of July!
Your editor-in-chief Martha here, back with the third in our series of “The Month of…”
If you saw our first two “The Month of…” articles, you’ll know what this series is all about. If you didn’t, where were you? Check them out here and here.
As with May and June’s post, I’ll round up of not only what the month of July 2015 represents nationally, but also the crazy, weird and wacky days July 2015 is going to bring too.
