Hello there, River residents.  Welcome to the first issue of The River Voice.  As part of our effort to provide local news and information to residents of the Salmon River and the Mid-Klamath area, we will run a local community calendar in each issue.  Any organization, business, or private party may make local residents aware of events, celebrations, sales, or what have you, by calling 462-4656 and leaving a message, or by e-mailing the information to holzems@sisqtel.net.  Since the River Voice will initially be published quarterly, event dates should be called in as far in advance as possible.  As you can see, entries for this edition are somewhat sparse, since many River residents are unaware of our existence at this point.  Anyway, here's what we've got for the next couple of months.
