To help defray costs of distribution of the First Capitol News we are asking our readers to participate in a voluntary subscriber program. Included with your paper this week you will find a voluntary subscriber envelope.You can become a voluntary subscriber by inserting a check or money order in that envelope and mailing it back to us. You decide the amount you want to include. Your contribution will help us to continue to provide you with the news and information you won’t find anywhere else. We will soon be entering our fifth year of publication and will continue to attempt to “MAKE A DIFFERENCE - One week at a time.”
In the event there is no envelope included with your paper just enclose your donation in an envelope, mark it as a voluntary subscription and mail it along with your check or money order to:

THINGS THAT MAKE YOU WANT TO GO Hmmmmmmmm
A Main Street businessman contacted us after viewing the web pages of Ameristar Casino. He was appalled there was no mention of Historic St. Charles or Main Street Shopping in their local things to do listings. We checked out the web site and discovered he was correct. There was a multitude of listing of places to go and things to see in the St. Louis area but no mention of St. Charles. They even had a listing of the Lewis & Clark Center in Hartford, Illinois but no mention of the Lewis and Clark Boat House and Museum in our city.
He suggested we check the Harrah’s Casino web site. Harrah’s Casino, located in Maryland Heights had a great number of the same places to go and things to see that were on Ameristar’s site. However, Harrah’s also had information on Historic Downtown St. Charles and the unique shops and shopping we have in our city.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
