They inspired
us to recognize the good in our own community and share
it with everyone through the Internet (we like to call it
the “Irwinternet”).
If you want to
know more than that, there’s a movie you can soon
watch. It’s called The Essence
of Irwin, and it tells the full, true story of what
actually happened when this Chicago company, Brown &
Elias, hired two men to come into Irwin and document us.
Millie Gurdy has written a letter
explaining that whole movie thing in more detail.
We invite you
to get to know our community through this, our home on the
World Wide Web. Maybe you’ll find something you’d
like to buy. Maybe you’ll find an event you want to
attend. Maybe you’ll find a good pen pal.
