Good Morning ValpoLife.com Community,

It's Friday morning the 27th, and we are running hard to close out a fantastic first week live on the web connecting with so many of you in Valpo.  It has been awesome to meet so many folks in town over the last few weeks, that each are involved in Valpo in some significant way, and hear how many share my enthusiasm for telling the stories about the people in Valpo.

A brief intro to ValpoLife.com went out to most everyone we know yesterday afternoon, and I would encourage everyone to do a quick free sign up to be a member of ValpoLife.com to ensure that they get the weekly Best of Valpo newsletter that will go out for the first time this afternoon  Quick Sign Up

The newsletter covers the top stories from the past week across all the categories of the site, and it includes special offers for ValpoLife.com members, and prizes awarded every week like ValpoLife shirts, jackets, and other gear, and gift certificates or awards from many of the participating businesses to a bunch of lucky members.

I also want to encourage everyone coming to the site to start contributing information about their community organization, school, team, group, or business, whether that be in article or blog form, or photos and videos that we can share with the rest of the ValpoLife community.  There is a contributor area of the site where you can read more about becoming a regular contributor to ValpoLife How to Contribute , or feel free to just shoot us a note with your idea, and we can discuss it with you and see how to work together to enrich the site.  There also is a Photo Upload page on the site that registered members can use to load up images of their event, team, company, organization, or anything else that you think ValpoLife readers would like to be able to see.

For those businesses that want to make sure they are on ValpoLife with a free business listing, please look for your company in the Business Listings section, and if your company has not yet been posted, please send us the information we need to create your Free Listing, and for those companies that really want to shine in front of all of Valpo, you can check out the Partner Profile which is a great investment in branding your company and having your own storefront so to speak on ValpoLife.

Thanks to everyone for the incredibly positive feedback everyone has given us, and please keep your suggestions coming for all the new content we can be adding.  We also appreciate all of those who have helped to spread the word in town by forwarding along the What is ValpoLife email, or the Best of Valpo newsletter that will come out for the first time this afternoon.

Have a great weekend Valpo, and thanks again for helping to make ValpoLife.com the one place that we all can call home on the web.
