As the swirl turns...
On January 20 I decided to launch a 100 Day Plan for Information Press in support of our new President and to stimulate the local economy. As part of the plan it was time to renew the commitment to the purpose of Information Press, to give it a new look, re-energize and reconnect with readers and advertisers, and reach out in new ways.
Well we did it all and we have succeeded in every area!
In 100 days we created a stimulus plan for advertisers, began a Support Local Business page, added five writers and ten drop sites plus we launched a totally new website on April 1. Please check it out! www.informationpress.net. I am so proud, it is totally awesome. Many thanks again and again to Craig Jungdandel for the look and time that he has given to make this work so well. We look forward to expanding even more in the months to come.
During these first 100 days we made an even deeper connection to our community by sponsoring and coordinating Spring Fest and Earth Day. This takes hours away from Information Press but we are committed to following through.
The first 100 days are over but we are looking at new ways to bring fun and joy into building community and commerce. Watch old topics return and new ones unfold with the many new writers that are joining our staff.
The month of April had many ups and downs; miscommunication seemed to be on high alert. New beginnings and sad endings drifted in and out of the 30 long days of April. We could see this happening on a national level as well. Out with the old, in with the new; we know we want change but sometimes you have to try a few things to learn what will work best. I believe it is all for the good but it’s not always easy.
I said NO in April, no is going to become my friend. It will help lighten my load so I can say yes to the bike commuter challenge. Join me, I’m creating an Information Press team. If I can do it, you can too.
Enjoy May. Remember your Mother and remember Mother Earth too.
Peace
