Bulletin Board

Last Updated on August 14, 2022 by Cass County Online

We’ve made some changes! We’re always listening to feedback and looking for ways to improve the services we offer. We’ve decided to try moving our “bulletin board” to the front page of CassCountyOnline.com so the first thing you’ll see when you visit is a list of local news, information and resources curated by the staff of Cass County Communication Network.

We’ve tried to include answers to some of the questions we get asked most often.

You can find the most recent posts by clicking “Community News” or “Latest Posts” in the menu above. You can still find events at CassCountyCalendar.com.
