    IMPORTANT UDPATE ON DENIM JACKET GIVEAWAY

    A denim jacket will be awarded at the Fathers Day Festival during the Saturday lunch break. The drawing will take place on the Vern's Stage. The winner need not be present. Each item submitted to Moldy will add to your chances of winning so get started emailing those news flashes to moldman7676@hotmail.com.

    *****************************

    SPECIAL NOTE TO OUR READERS: I've just been informed that His Highness and Mrs. Mold are on a hastily planned junket to Fort Wayne, Indiana and the Mold News will be delayed yet another day. Unfortunate because I could easily have pinch-hitted had I only been directed. Why the junket, you ask? Who knows, but I'm certain we'll have to hear all about it on Tuesday. Be that as it may, have a happy and well-informed week...your humble Senior Student Intern and unofficial Assistant Mold News Editor in Chief, Mandarin Montag.


    Missed yesterday's MOLD? Need to settle a bet about something that ran last week? Live a life that is so drab and meaningless and totally without purpose that reading old Mold columns is all that's keeping you from taking a little nap in the old Buick with the garage door down? You need to visit the MOLDY ARCHIVE.

    October through December

    Mold Archive January through March

    Mold Archive April through June

      DAILY GRIST=="The best layed plans of mice and men, etc., etc."--Bill S.
    Sorry Bert
    Guest column from Acting Welcome column Editor
    May 20, 2013


    It is with heavy heart and a red face that I, Mandarin Montag, Acting Welcome Editor, must publicly admit that I've somehow lost Bert Daniel's column which was to appear this morning. For the life of me, I don't understand how it happened. I know that everyone on the web team was rooting for me to succeed on my first assignment on the CBA's REAL web page, (as opposed to the Mold News, a kind of slappped together, frequently sensationalistic apendage to the Association's official web site.) I can think of only one person who has consistantly tried to hold down my Internet career. But he couldnb't have sabatoged the column I'd prepared for poosting this mornbing because he's out of town. Unless...

    Well, whatever the reason, we'll miss Mr. Daniel's interesting and informative column today but rest assured it will run later in the week.

    Your trusted and heavy-hearted servant, Mandarin Montag, Actting Welcome Editor.
