New Schedule for Where & What in the World

With the onslaught of newsletters and so many blog posts, the Hill Team decided it would be more effective to publish our posts less often. This will give all of you the opportunity to see each one when it is featured.

For those who want to follow us, or have an RSS feed, we won't be overwhelming you.

We love to share, but don't want you to tire of our information.

The new schedule for Where and What in the World posts will be Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings.

On occasion, we may have something we just have to share immediately. When that happens, we will do an extra post.

We hope this works out better for everyone.
