Join California Local on a journey of exploration.
If you’re receiving this email, we thank you. First, for joining CaliforniaLocal.com. And second, for taking the time to open up this email, which is our inaugural member newsletter.
I’m Sharan Street, managing editor for California Local. We’ve been working on the website for many months, and we’ve attracted enough members to open up the lines of communication. But it’s two-way communication that we’re looking for as we build a portal where you can discover news and information about Santa Cruz County, connect with local government officials and community leaders, and take action to make a positive impact.
We invite you to explore the site and let us know what you think. Anywhere you see our “Keep It Fresh” box, it’s an invitation to let us know how we can improve the site. You can also use the link to suggest additions to our Public Sector and Community Group listings.
In every newsletter, you’ll find information about a few of our own in-depth articles, as well as the latest from our California Local Media Allies. In addition, we curate a selection of stories from other news outlets in our Digest and provide details on upcoming government meetings. And we’ll be adding more features in the future.
Finally, to learn more about who we are and why we built this site, check out the California Local Blog. You’ll find a dozen posts so far that provide insight into the ideas that drive company founders Chris Neklason and Eric Johnson, and our publisher, Michael Gelbman. We’re looking forward to exploring Santa Cruz County together with you.
