Minuteman Press
Part of  our  Grand Reopening has been the launch of our new, free  Bounce Back USA   online Advertising and Promotion platform. We encourage all of you to list your businesses there, and we will do all we can to promote the site. If you submit your free listing and share this community movement with  your customers , they will find other local businesses to patronize and help rebuild. If everybody who receives this email just shares it with a few people, think about the business and goodwill it can generate around your neighborhood.
 
Stay Safe, Stay Healthy, and let’s  Bounce Back USA  !

We'd especially like to thank the performers from IIlusion Theater for putting our resident's stories into words and song. They did an amazing job.
