MEET YOUR NEIGHBORS:
This is where we get to introduce new and reintroduce longtime residents, couples, or families of the neighborhood each month. Have you always wished you knew your neighbors better? This is a great way to get to know them and share their story. Great nominations can include (but are definitely NOT limited to):
New residents
Residents who have lived in the neighborhood for more than 10 years
Residents who are involved with the neighborhood and/or community
Residents with a special story
Residents who have served or are currently serving in the military
You!
VETERAN SPOTLIGHT:
Are you a veteran or do you know of a resident who is currently in the military? We'd love to give them a shout out, thank them for their service, and share their story!
YOUNG ACHIEVERS:
If you know of any kids in the neighborhood who excel in academics, sports, or has a special talent, we want to hear about them! Or is your child always snapping photos or do they love to write? They should share their talents with the publication! We would like to start a “Kids’ Corner” section with contributions directly from the kids in the neighborhood. Have your budding writer interview their friends in the neighborhood or snap pictures of themselves and their friends having fun. Then send them in and they will get recognition in the publication! It’s a fun way to encourage your kids’ talents!
MAKING A DIFFERENCE:
If you are involved with a philanthropy, nonprofit organization, or if you know of a neighbor who volunteers, we would love to spread awareness for the great cause!
HOME OF THE MONTH:
Do you have an outstanding home? Is your home rich in history? Have you recently renovated? Does your home have plenty of character? Do you know a neighbor who does? We want to know about it!
PRECIOUS PETS:
Pets are important members of our families. Do you have a pet who is cute, silly, or has a fun story to share? Send us a photo with a caption, and your pet may be featured in a future issue of the neighborhood magazine!
TRAVEL TALES:
Do you enjoy traveling and exploring new places? Do you have a favorite destination? Share your fun and adventurous travel stories and photos with us!
RESIDENT BUSINESS BEAT:
Are you a North Oaks resient who also owns a business? Tell us about it so we can help get the word out to your neighbors while also learning a bit more about YOU!
KIDS BOOK OR MOVIE REVIEWS:
Do you like to read books, watch movies, or write poetry? We want to share your thoughts!
RESIDENT RECIPE:
This is where you can let some of your cooking secrets out to the public! All that is required is the ingredients and preparation advice, but a photo is always nice too! This really spices up things a bit from the ordinary mac and cheese.
Please note there is NO COST involved for Norh Oaks residents to participate in our publication with any of the above-mentioned articles. We publish these stories for your benefit!
