From concept to print, 3 months!

Watch the story on Channel 3/WKYC tonight at 11!

Betsy, seeing what the Lakewood Observer has done for Lakewood, asked AGS to help
her hometown of Collinwood get their own paper. With the help of councilman Polensak,
the local CDCs, local businesses and volunteers, up and running in three months!

That brings the number of Observers in print to 5, with two more going to printin weeks
and another 23 in the works!

Thank you Lakewood,and all of those willing to take part, and make history.

Lakewood's number one export, software!

Congratulations to all.

Congrats to the Lakewood Observer and to the new Collinwood Observer.

Really happy about the Collinwood Observer. It's a beautiful paper.

And while I wasn't looking, the Westlake Bay Observer printed three fantastic papers.

Nice to see an idea grow.

BTW, I saw a preview of tonights Channel 3 news and Jim is shown unloading papers. I just might stay up to watch the story.

The story on channel 3 was very well done..mentioned Heights and Lakewood and interviewed people reading the paper a Muldoon's.

Nice story on the news. I wish the collinwood observer as much success as the LO has had here.

It was nice.

However it was the people taking part in this open dialogue that have
made this successful.

For that, I will always be grateful and proud.

Something from Lakewood others are buying into.

We should all be very proud.

Thank you to my advisory board, and every member that has taken part.
Special thanks to Betsy Voinovich and Erin Randel that were able to get
The Collinwood Observer up, and to press in under 3 months!

Proving together, we can make great things happen.

Wait till you read our next three announcements!
