Just a couple of days ago we helped the Commonwealth Coach & Trolley group build a new web site for their non-profit group. We used Joomla along with other modules to create the experience. The site offers a calendar of events, Facebook sidebar, the ability to request a trip and of course great pictures of their buses. The thing that amazed me about this group are how many events they support and people they pick up that do not know what a great service they offer. So the next time you are at an event and see one of the buses coming to pick you up thank the driver and tell him to thank the mechanics because all of their time they are donating for free.

We received this request from a Grandmother of a 7 year old. She was hoping for a computer for Christmas and we were able to deliver. We are excited to see the picture Christmas morning.
