| E-mail: | HI, I Love the calendar, ordered it for my sis for Christmas and was so glad i got it! I thought at one time there were some personal stories on the net about your "experiences" during your shoots, maybe i just remember some from the "today" show, but you should include them someplace, it would be cute and sell,sell, sell even more calendars. may your holidays be blessed and your community center better than ever.

| E-mail: | Thank-you for getting back to me,... I recieved my calendars the next day. Just loved them!!! I am a devious person, though, looking at the calendar I wondered if there were any reflections in the water, on the cover. Is it possible, that there is a reflection? Look at the reflection of the man second in on the left. At any rate thanks, I will have fun giving them away at Christmas | |
| E-mail: | steve, i received the calendars yesterday and they are a scream!!!!!! my girlfriends will love them :) happy holiday | |

| E-mail: | Hello Jamie, Thanks for your quick response, In fact your response was so effective, two hours later my calendar arrived! It's really fun, and, may I say, worth waiting for.

Cheers, Rosemary | |
| Quote: | "To the Men of Maple Corner, I I just received my calendar - Tank You! I laughed so hard I cried, and then cried some more, because I had just left Vermont for Virginia this fall. Men - you have those English Ladies beat all to heck! Hope you do one next year - A longtime Vermonter | |
| Quote: | Dear "Men", Hi you devils, what a neat thing to do. How many beers did it take? Sent one to my friend who has seen male stippers, can't wait for her phone call. You made this Old Ladies day, on oxygen, 24 hrs. a day since 1995. Saw you on TV. Like the sound of your town. Are the gals doing a calendar? That's what I heard. I like May, my hubby was a carpenter. God Bless... | |
| Quote: | Hi Maple Corner, I think you have a good project. I lost my first calendar and have to order another one. I lost it because I left it out and a friend said she needed it. Have fun and have a Merry Christmas, Harvey | |
| E-mail: | I received the calendars, and they sure livened up the holidays! One was a gift for a friend in her 80"s, and she read it through, laughing all the way and every time she thought about it afterward for days--pretty good gift, I'd say. - Somewhere in Vermont | |

| E-mail: | This isn't a suggestion - it's an appreciation! My 60-something sister gave me your calendar for my 70th birthday. Love it and the song on your web site is another hoot. Thanks ever so much. Hope the septic system and community center are now in A-1 shape. | |
