It’s amazing to think that it has been
almost aquarter of a century since
Australiawas first connected to the
internet.
Today the internet is apart of our
everyday lives and it has become
such an important tool to staying
connected as a community.
As the internet has evolved, so too
has thewaywe communicatewith
eachother, especially through social
media.
Communication is keywhen it comes
to representingDivision 2 and keeping
residents in the loopwith local
events, news and council activities is
an important part ofmy job.
I appreciate the community feedback
regarding socialmedia andenjoy the
positive contributions.
