The job of updating the electronic signboard at the Greene County Community Center is easier, just in time for winter weather.
Ben Franklin/Radio Shack donated the cost of labor to install a wireless network bridge, allowing Community Center staff to enter messages onto the board without going outside. Labor cost would have been about $500, according to Ben Franklin/Radio Shack owner Bob Smith.

Smith said the technology is similar to what many farmers have installed to take wireless internet service to their machine sheds and offices.
