that "we are all in this together" may not actually be the case.

According to the Associated Press, incomes have declined across all
demographics, but at a greater percentage for middle and lower income

It was great to have you join us. The evening was great with all the wonderful artwork, fashion show, music and poetry. The Central Library was a perfect venue for this annual community event. The quilting is just another opportunity for expression. See you soon.

Help

A few things to consider before joining Smaller Indiana:
1. Please use your real name (first and last) when you sign up, or we cannot open your account

2. Please do not use logos or commercial images for your profile photo

3. Events should be posted in the events calendar

4. You can post pretty much anything you want on your own personal page (self promotion, etc), and you can change the style of your personal profile page to reflect your corporate identification if you so choose.

5. Please keep all comments civil and polite. It's OK to feel strongly about a subject, and it's OK to be critical of ideas, but please refrain from personal attacks of any kind.

If you witness or experience any issues, please contact admin@smallerindiana.com and we will look into the matter.

6. Smaller Indiana is supported by its members, and by corporate sponsors. If you're interested in learning more about sponsorship, please call Pat Coyle at 317 332 7878.
