Humm. did a little searching on google, and found some neat pictures. Our mayor has not promised us a new temporary bridge but is very much in favor of putting an end to the separation of our two communities.

The ride to the other side twice with in a week took approximately 2o minutes each way observing the speed limits. Normal times before was 5 minutes.

Now that is a detour.

Hi and welcome to Driver Village's Web page.

Okay we are up and running. I have created a
Blog for our site as well as a
forum.

The gallery is working yet unfinished as well as the captions for the pictures.

I am in the process of assigning user names and passwords for the gallery, so that members can edit the captions.

I have been in contact with
Glebe Episcopal Church and have permission to link to their site, which you can do by clicking on their name above.

I also have some information to post for Berea Congregational Christian Church Of The United Church Of Christ.

I have heard from Beech Grove United Methodist Church . I have some history to share with all..

okay... that's about it for now... enjoy...!!!

contact us : )

Sincerely yours,

Harry

1st post I am Harry Gutelius and what an honor it is to have been chosen by my childhood hometown Driver to share what I love to do the most and that is build a web site.

We will not be having our Annual Spring Fling and Craft Show this year. We are devoting our energies to DRIVER DAYS or also known as the Driver Village Fall Festival.

Your patience is greatly appreciated while I work our website. Currently, I am working on pages that aren't properly linked as I don't have the appropriate corresponding files. It seems that my SQL database file is not compatible with this web server. Unfortunately recently when I have tried to work on our pages, I have encountered numerous problems similar to the one I mentioned above.

For someone who can do just about anything with a computer, it is frustrating to have do deal with server errors, etc. We are just about there now... :O)

Please promptly report any errors to me. Unfortunately because of spammers searching our pages for email addresses to spam, we will use forms to relay information. As a matter of fact I can delete email addresses at will to discourage such behavior.

Seems we are making some progress. I have added three more businesses, and am beginning to work on our picture
gallery . I have added some of the pictures, 150 to the gallery .... many, many more will follow. I have quite a few of the fire department volunteers as well.

I can't wait to share with our web page viewers
what we have done as an organization and community to help support our Volunteer Fire Department. The last two years have we have raised over 32,000 dollars for the fire department. We love you guys appreciate the hard work, and training you put in to save lives and property. What an honor it has been for us to put on Driver Days to benefit you.

We have installed a portal gateway called PHP-Nuke which I hope will be helpful. Also I have installed a bulletin board as well. Let's see how it goes.

Our sites mission is to emphasize and promote our businesses, churches and civic groups and include their corresponding pages on our links page. A fellow association member gave me the idea of toying with a place to post information as well I think the geeks call it a Blog. Through that means of communication, I believe we can have one of the most informative and civically minded websites in the world, yet at the same time be a hometown website. I hope you enjoy the work that we have created for your enjoyment and possibly even a shopping excursion or two or a posted civic event. We hope to post all civic events, church services, as well as Driver Days and by doing so promote community involvement.

In the last ten years or so our community has grown from 27 homes to almost 300. Now that is a large number of families to bring together.

Having our own website will enable us to communicate with one another as a business association as well as have individual email address. As I acquire the appropriate permissions to post them on our contact page, I will.

I have lots of responsibilities as I try to manage my family's business. I am a fixer upper at heart and maybe will show you a picture or two of my undertakings to renovate the Driver Train Station but only after ALL of the pictures given to me have been posted. I have lots of pictures to share as a matter of fact about 400 to post to our site, in addition to reorganizing the ones already on the site. That should keep me busy. Our pages are a little sparse but in time will grow. The best part about our website is that we won't have to pay market rates for web page creations, as of now it is entirely free. We do pay for the domain hosting and domain name.

Driver Village greatly appreciates the original design by Revovision and would like to expand it a little bit more and probably eventually replace it. I decided that the work they put in considering the historic background of our community was definitely worth keeping around for a while. I have changed the backgrounds some and tinkered here and there but I do like what they did for us. If any of you need a quality web designer, look no further, just click on the link on each page that links to their site.

As far as me designing a web page for anyone else, don't even ask, I have way to much on my plate to even attempt another site. Oh yeah :O) I must have time to sail the Chesapeake Bay this summer too...

Please feel free to send us relevant information that you would like us to share with the by clicking here

If you are the person who sent me pictures of the Driver Fire Department with their new truck, I haven't forgotten you either.

Sincerely yours,

Harry
