By the time this issue hits the stands, spring will officially be here. However, at the time I am writing this, we are in the midst of “false spring” - that time when temperatures rise, snow melts, and hopes that spring is actually here are dashed when “second winter” returns. 

That said, I want to give a shout-out to the Block Carriers who deliver the paper in all weather. Some of our carriers have been with us for decades, while others recently joined the team. No matter how long you have been helping get Boyle McCauley News delivered to our readers, thank you!

If you would like to become a Block Carrier, you can let me know at editor@bmcnews.org and I can let you know when (and where) routes become available. You can also contact me if you are interested in writing or photographing for the paper.

Residents of McCauley and Boyle Street (and active volunteers with us regardless of location) can apply  for a free membership at our website. Members occasionally receive information and have a vote at our AGM. More info: bmcnews.org/membership.
