Hi Everyone. I am starting a small,free community newspaper/newsletter for La Manzanilla and the area. Each monthly edition will include information on up-coming events, entertainment, a feature about one of our local residents or business, essential services and emergency numbers and a map of La Manzanilla. As well there will be articles on health, food, arts and music, history and culture, pets and wildlife and celebrations and fiestas. The goal of the paper is to help create a stronger connection in our community through information sharing and to promote better cultural awareness to those new to our town. A strong focus will be on encouraging the support of our local Mexican business and services.
The paper will be available at locations around town as well as in Melaque and hopefully soon Barra. I will also be distributing at the Friday Market and along the beach. If you have any upcoming events you would like to announce, ideas for features, or are interested in purchasing an ad, please email me at thepelicanmx@gmail.com
Thanks, I look forwards to hearing from you.

Sounds like a great project, Lee. Good luck.
Will you be soliciting any news stories and editorial contributions from others?
Classified ads?
As a starter, could you identify who you are, as there are several other people in town by the name of Lee..

Hi Larry, Thanks for your interest. Gee, and here I thought I was the only Lee.  ) Not sure how to identify myself. We live a pretty quiet life here. My partner Brian and I built here last year but have been around for about 4 years now. I have done a paper similar to this back in B.C.
I am definitely interested in talking to anyone about stories or info they would like to share. Probably staying away from the editorial for now. Classified ads sound like a good idea. For now this paper will start fairly small and I hope to see it grow from there. Like I said, just wanting to keep people in the loop and promote our local business. Please email me with any ideas you have. Would love to hear from you.
Cheers, Lee

Post removed until Bird Jumper decides to be a real person, with opinions that they

What a great idea. For those of us who are not in la Manzanilla, but want to keep up with the local news, will you post a web version of your paper?
