It is that time of week again. Winlink Wednesday! Use the Winklink General Check-In Template. I'm finally back in town for a while I hope!!!! Our Winlink Check-in numbers have dwindling a bit and I attribute that to it being summer and me getting these posts out late. Today we will just do a simple check-in. Also, post if you think it would be a good idea to post your responses on the website.
