Several of my MOGenWeb counties have new coordinators and new homes!
Carter County is now managed by Denise Woodside.
Gentry County and Worth County are now managed by Bob Jenkins.
Clinton County, Morgan County, Pettis County and Saline County are available for adoption!
In addition, all of the counties are being moved from their current home with a new CMS. It will take months, but technological “improvements” require the change. You can still find everything in the Projects until they are moved.
So if you’re wondering why old stuff is popping up here, that’s why!
