We remember our fellow Americans who lost their lives 7 years ago today in the attacks of September 11. God bless America, those currently fighting and those who have lost their lives over the course of 231 years for freedom.

Thank You!

WOW! Its hard to believe. MeetMerced.com is one year old today. Sure there was a time there when MeetMerced was accessible before August 27th, 2007, but it wasn't until then that we were officially launched. We've has some success this past year with the helping of the Kiddieland train campaign, etc., but we have a long way to go.

We took a little break for a few months, but we are back and will be posting as much as possible. We hope you do too!

We look forward to serving as the community blog of choice. Join us today.

Side note... Greater Merced Kiwanis wants the community to know that Kiddieland is temporarily closed pending some paperwork being filed with the State of California. It will be open again soon.

Thanks,
MeetMerced.com Staff

MERCED, Calif. - The end came in a blink outside the Merced County courthouse.

Only six people showed up for the foreclosure auction, Janice Pimentel and her son Nick included. By chance, the Pimentels' dairy farm was the first property offered.

The auctioneer, a young man in aviator sunglasses and blue jeans, read their address and paused for bids. When none came, the Joe T and Janice R Pimentel Dairy Farm, 21 years in the life of the family, officially became the property of its main creditor, a local lender.

We can think of MeetMerced.com as ship going into outer space. After almost a year of the site being up, we are blessed to be able to pull the BETA name off of our title banner, because in 3-2-1 we're up in cyberspace. We have generated buzz, added features to the site, and lots more, but we are not done. The MeetMerced.com Staff is planning lots of fun... contests, parties, etc. For now though, our launch is official. As of August 27th, 2007, we are chugging along.

After more than a year's prep work and several meetings with a lot of people, MeetMerced.com finally has wings. We have developed a plan for launching this ship that we feel will serve us well .
