This quote is attributed to Bill Gates - in considering Villisca economic development - it has a story in it "We always overestimate the change that will occur in the next two years and underestimate the change that will occur in the next ten. Don't let yourself be lulled into inaction." ~~Bill Gates

To the right is a note received by e-mail from the Rundles. It has been no easy task to get some technical difficulties resolved so we could get the new site up and running. We do want to thank Kelly and Tammy for all their efforts to get this done. Be sure to see the news from Fourthwall Films at villiscamovie.com They have had their own new news to share in the last couple weeks. They will be going nationwide with sales around October 20 so look for it at your local store. Villisca: Living With a Mystery can also be rented online through thru Netflix. And, in the midwest, it can be rented at Family Video stores and some independents so look for it there as well. |
A note from the Rundles: "Congratulations
on a great job on the villisca.com website. We are VERY HAPPY that villisca.com
will be used to promote the City of Villisca, and the Chamber of Commerce.
It is as it should be. ~~Kelly and Tammy Rundle" |
