From Cindy DiNardo:
"On behalf of Malachi Mart staff, volunteers and customers, thanks for the great exposure we are receiving by being on the Web. Mike May’s efforts are greatly appreciated. It is truly a unique opportunity for a site like
Malachi Mart to have access to the Web and to make our products and service known through this medium. We also appreciate the opportunity to reach our Hispanic neighbors through the Web. Mike, we love you!"
