A Great Success!

/in ,

Good morning!

On Saturday, the Main Street Store participated in the Albion Sip N’ Stroll.  The store was packed with many who have never been in the store and we heard many positive comments.  Our goal was to introduce the store to people who were not aware of this hidden gem and I believe we accomplished the mission.  It was a fun event!  We had delicious food samples from Wild Flour Deli and Bakery and Wine Tasting brought to us by Sarah’s Studio. We also had live music by Woody and Friends followed by Cheyenna-Rain Eagle. Several staff members and friends took time from their Saturday to assist with the event as well as others who supported in other ways.  Many thanks to everyone who contributed!!   I am told there were at least 300 tasters and many were overhead commenting that they will be back to do more shopping!!  This was a great success! Thank you for being part of the solution!

Emergency Broadband Benefit Change

/in ,

On March 1, 2022, most legacy Emergency Broadband Benefit households should be automatically transitioned to the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP).  Households that need to take action to remain enrolled in the ACP will have been contacted by USAC, the program administrator, or their provider.  

After the transition period ends on March 1, 2022, the monthly discount for all legacy EBB participants not located on qualifying Tribal lands will be reduced to $30. Consumers should contact their provider if they are concerned about a possible increase in their monthly service bill or are interested in changing to a different service plan.
