The Castle Pines Connection has completed its inaugural year as your premier neighborhood newspaper in the Castle Pines community.
It was a year ago December that the Castle Pines North Master Association made the decision to discontinue its homeowner’s association newspaper to provide Castle Pines North residents a reduction in homeowner dues.
A year ago December that the business community rallied its support for an independent news source, and through local advertising dollars provided funding for a new newspaper that would serve the greater Castle Pines community.
A year ago December that friends Lane Roberts, Sharon Kollmar, Tim Gamble, and Terri Wiebold decided to combine their creative talents and bring you The Castle Pines Connection.
The last year has brought about many changes for The Castle Pines Connection. Our distribution has increased from 3,500 to 7,500 copies; our frequency has changed from bimonthly to monthly; our issue size has grown from 32 pages to 48 pages; and our staff has grown from seven to eighteen.
Through all the changes, however, one thing has remained consistent – the endorsement of our local advertisers. Without the financial support of these neighborhood businesses, your paper could not exist.
It is our hope that for every dollar businesses commit to advertising in The Castle Pines Connection, they receive many times the reward in customers shopping locally and supporting them in return.
Please take the time to read the list of businesses and entities that have advertised this past year and patronize these businesses who have supported us, YOUR community newspaper.
Finally, we can’t look back at the past year without recognizing all those in the community who have contributed to the look, feel, character, and content of the paper.
Thank you to everyone who wrote in with story ideas, to all who submitted articles and photographs, to those who provided editorial feedback, and to the amazing staff of individuals who paint a picture each issue of the Castle Pines community in a way that helps us all to remember what a special place this is to live!
