We Help People Find Memories They Didn't Know They Had !!
** Carpentersville Memories Site Closing **
The site is getting too big for Yahoo Hosting, they have made it impossible to continue.
They give unlimited space but they don't really mean it, they seriously limit usage if the site gets too large.
This site has grown to be quite large over the past few years and it needs to be moved but I don't have the
time or funds to do that. I will keep the site up for awhile but will probably shut it down before the next
fees are due in September. Thanks to everyone for the support and all of the yearbooks and photos,
it's been fun.
** A Very Special Thank You To Patty Berger for her recent Photo Donations !!! **
