Resources for New Arrivals

Even if you aren’t new, this can be a useful list.  The internet is full of millions of sites telling you everything you need (or thought you needed) to know..it can be hard to sort out.  Here are my favorites…these can help you with registering to vote, getting a driver license, registering your car, pets, etc., and generally point you in the right direction to get your questions answered.  If you can’t find it, contact me at deborahrutter@yahoo.com, and I will help you.
