Sometime in 2012 an Icon viewer will "click" on The Icon - and it will register as click number one-half million.
That's correct. In 2011 The Bluffton Icon continued to rack up an impressive growth of total views and individual viewers, according to its owners Fred and Mary P. Steiner. During 2012 the Icon's total views will reach one-half million.
As of Dec. 31, The Icon has had 443,197 total views since it was launched in September 2009.
Twice-monthly community meals continue in 2012, sponsored by the Bluffton Inter Church Board.
The meals are at 6 p.m. each first and third Thursday of the month at the Bluffton Senior Citizens Center. The meals are free and open to the public. Persons interested in making a donation may bring non-perishable food items. All donations go to the Bluffton Community Assistance Program's food pantry.
