“Grey Days”
There are days when we know there is hardly a chance that the sun will break out and give the break we need from shades of grey overhead.
There are times when the clouds are thick and tightly knit without much of a shade variation.
There are days when the clouds release never-ending rain to rain on our parade.
So, we look for; light and coziness inside, good music to lift us up, food to brighten our day, connection with a loved one. Jeff Salmon

The next Whisper is Wednesday April 29th Submissions are due no later than Sunday April 26th 6pm
The Purpose of the Atlin Whisper is to encourage, build-up and inform the people of Atlin concerning ongoing community events and happenings. The Whisper is not a political mouthpiece. Compiled and edited by Lynne Phipps. Paper for printing courtesy of Northern Homes Real Estate Printing courtesy of Dani McNeil and the RCMP Atlin. Delivery by Bobbie Whelan and Gary Hill. Classifieds, news, upcoming events Contact lynnephippsatlin@gmail.com if you have, pictures or articles you would like to submit.
Please note that submissions should be sent in either WORD or JPEG whenever possible. PDF must first be printed and then scanned back into the computer in order to format it into the paper. This costs in both paper and ink. We know that at times a PDF is the only way, which is okay when necessary, but otherwise, as the Whisper is a FREE community service we appreciate your support in helping to keep the costs down as much as possible. Thank You!
