The Team Mahaska Web Site has been a resource for the Mahaska Community and beyond for nearly ten years. The team members believed it was time for a new look. Much of the content has been revisited and reorganized to provide our visitors with easier access to information. Some older content has been refreshed or, when appropriate, decluttered. Some content is still being researched and will be posted soon.

We'd like to hear your thoughts about the new site and your suggestions for improvements. This is a fluid process and knowing what you want and need is critical. Click on Contacts button at the top or the side navigation area and then submit your comments to Web Site Content Coordinator.

Useful sites because you may not have time to surf!

Editor’s Note: If you’ve found a useful website you’d like to see listed, please submit it to TM’s Website Content Editor, and, after checking the sites’ usefulness and validity, it may get posted here so others can take advantage of time you’ve already spent in surfing.
