The Walpolean

From Ray Boas:

Hope you had fun during OLD HOME DAYS – it took me about two weeks to recover from helping with the Walpole Players’ production of OUR TOWN. But, time again, and I have now started work on the AUGUST issue of the CLARION. Inputs for your articles are due TUESDAY, JULY 22, 5 pm (Walpole time). The files will go to the printer the following morning. Make sure to visit the CLARION website for contact information, and article and advertising submission details.

Your early submissions help as I start developing the layout well before the closing date. If you have some “news” send it along. I also like to have on-hand material of interest that is not time-sensitive to fill space to round out a pleasing issue. So, if you would “like to be in print” and have something to write and share (images as well), send along for possible inclusion space permitting. Please do remember, it is the advertisers in each issue that make this community publication possible, so please support and thank them.

If you have any questions, or interest in placing an advertisement, reaching over 1,900 Walpole, North Walpole and Drewsville addresses, I welcome your inquiries, so please do get in touch with me. Advertising information and contact information is on the CLARION website.

Thank you, RAY BOAS, Publisher

From Ray Boas:

The July 2025 Clarion is now online and ready to go to the post offices for delivery. Sadly fewer pages this month. There were few submissions of recent past happenings, and not much seems to be planned for the next month. Remember, if you do have an event to share with the community, submit your article for possible inclusion in the next issue.

But for now, click on this link for the issue or the front cover below. Stay safe and well, yours– RAY BOAS, Publisher.
