"Never doubt...

...that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has."
- Margaret Mead

Yesterday's blog mentioned the fact that the Virginian Pilot would no longer be delivered on Ocracoke. Well, that's no longer the case. A small group of citizens sent emails and letters and made phone calls to the decision maker on the matter, and the plan was reversed. Maybe it was a medium sized group making the contacts - it was obviously enough to have an impact!

As a result, the newspaper will continue to be available every day, in vending stands at a handful of spots, and individual home boxes all over the village. So we won't have to use the "we live on an island" excuse after all. :)
