Message to Icon viewers:

Thank you for your continued support of The Bluffton Icon. Over the Fourth of July weekend we are in the process of switching servers and upgrading our service. Please have a little patience as this process takes place. At the moment, we've successfully switched most of our modules. We are still working on our photos. Because of that we've not added new photos recently. Please stay tuned. You'll see new photos soon!

We encourage viewers to continue to e-mail us material.
