THANK YOU

"I wished to write you and tell you, quite simply,

THANK YOU.

I've had one business and one local organization write to me today, and it may end up leading to 3 sponsorships. That's $900 I normally wouldn't have received. Thanks again to you and to your readers.

Bill, we're very pleased to see that local people and local businesses have shown such great interest in the Delmarva Classic Wrestling Tournament. I believe the Economic Impactyou have brought into Wicomico County by bringing so many thousands of people to Wicomico County should be very grateful for all you provide. Thousands of people come from all over the Country for this event, stay in Hotels and eat lots of food, providing probably close to a million extra tax dollars to our community for just this event.



While not everyone is into wrestling, others need to recognize just what these sporting events do for the tax base in Wicomico County. Softball Tournaments, Dog Shows, Wrestling, you name it. Without ALL of you, residents of Wicomico County would have their taxes raised, without any question.



We're in tough times and I have been preaching for weeks, we must stick together, support one and other and network to make ends meet for everyone. If Salisbury News can help, well, that's just downright cool!



Let's just hope the people in the County Tourism and Civic Center appreciate your pulling this back together again and giving it that last breath effort to once again make it a success in tough times. My hat is tipped to you Sir!
