As publisher of Valley East Today, and moreover as a resident of Valley East since March 1974, I can't tell you how pleased I am to be able to share some of the accomplishments and achievements of the people who have made a huge difference in the evolution of this town into what it has become today. 

From this page you will be able to spend hours going back over some of the stories about the activities and events that have taken place in Valley East during the near and distant. You will be able to read about people you know, and perhaps even yourself. You will also be able to send links of this site to your family and friends, from all over the world so that they too can discover the wonders of the Valley, as we so affectionately call this region.

I hope you enjoy reading the articles that form our Living History as much as I have enjoyed putting it together for you.
