Issue: July 30, 2009
Hi everybody,
Your weekly blast from the cast. Hey, did you see we’ve selected the Holland Project to be the recipient of any profits we make from the selling of CDs with the winners of our Biggest Little Songwriting Contest? If you’re a songwriter, don’t forget to upload your tune to our website, www.newsreview.com/reno. Anyway, another week, another collectors’ item. On the cover, we’ve got a package regarding how social networking sites like Facebook have ruined everyone’s summer. On top of that, we’ve got a story of a local person who actually had her summer ruined when a Facebook Social Ads user allegedly stole her art. Gosh, there’s really too much stuff in this issue to fit it all into a newsletter introduction. Check out the links below, and as always, thank you for reading our newspaper. If it weren’t for you, we’d never know when we confused “you and I” for “you and me.”
Thanks,
Brian
