A few months ago I noticed that my beautiful town of Golden BC did not have an arts, culture and lifestyles magazine outlet. We once in our recent past did have a lifestyles magazine; however as things go on with life it did too. I was inspired by the drive and will of the local people to start this project to communicate our lives with our community on a monthly basis.
A few if us got together and started to write, take photos, and learn, learn, and learn. We are really grass roots. I never have used any type of designing software. The local writers did not know how to write professionally. Though we had a dream to make this project work and happen for our beloved community of Golden.
Golden BC Canada, like many towns and just like your town, has a vibrant arts scene, tremendous music talent and many artisans of traditional crafts. There are many people engaged with this community through social organisations, community events, and just regular people who need some recognition for their selfless work in this community. I wanted to share all this talent with our community. We have so many people that make our community great. We needed a new place to share our stories with our community and beyond.
After some long days, and long nights, all working for free, we made it happen. The pieces came together and it just fit nice. We have a great first issue. And the community is stoked for more. We have a limited advertisers to support the first issue. The advertised just on their blind faith. They realized need that we need a new independent community driven media outlet.
We need about $5000 to get our selves fully professional. I have used my own cash from a minimum wage job to start. We need a good computer, office space and a website. We have a lot of talented community members working for free at the moment and we need to provide a good foundation to make these people to succeed and to drive more advertising dollars.
If you donate I will send you a copy of our magazine and a Local Townie Sticker. And you might be on the cover of the magazine.
Please pass on the word of our independent word and arts. Please like us on Facebook http:www.facebook.com/TheLocalTownie
