Here are the updates included in version 7.3 of the Community Resource Guide for Anderson County. The online version is updated as we get updates, though we recognize many people don’t have access to this version.
This post highlights changes to both the printed version and the online version.
Many thanks to our curators for their efforts in keeping their categories up-to-date. We’re still looking for more curators, so please reach out and let us know which category you are interested in helping with. [Read More]
