Join us this Friday at The Inner Circle as REALNEO goes to print

I'm pleased to invite you to another in our series of open houses at The Inner Circle. This Friday, June 22, we will open the restaurant with an expanded food service, being planned by Hot Sauce Williams' Greg Williams and The Inner Circle's Edwin James - I'll post details shortly. But the big news we'll be discussing at The Inner Circle this Friday is literally the "news", as we are about to launch a print newspaper for East Cleveland - 4-color, 24 page - 20,000 free copies (advertiser supported) to be distributed door-to-door and made available all over East Cleveland, University Circle and in the area, and of course on-line. You are invited to help write and produce it!

I'll post more details on this new newspaper as I'm able - the best way to get informed and involved is to come to the Inner Circle Friday. The newspaper will be produced entirely online, just like REALNEO, and will feature events, articles, photos, and other content, from civic journalists, that is of interest to others in the community. For example, I'm asking the Greater Cleveland Lead Advisory Council to provide a series on lead poisoning prevention. I've asked the Coit Farmers Market to provide a food feature each issue. You are welcome to submit your ideas and content. Again - start by coming to the Inner Circle!

A Hot Sauce Williams BBQ lunch (with some veggie dishes as well) will be available from 11:30 AM until 1:00 PM ($7 - some light items for less). At 12:30 PM we will begin an open discussion about the East Cleveland newspaper project.

If you want to learn more about what we are doing in East Cleveland and with this historic property - take a tour - then come as early as 11 AM. If you don't want to join us for lunch but are interested in discussing the newspaper, please come at 12:30 PM. We should be around until at least 3:00 PM if you want to stop by later.

NOTE: Next Thursday, June 28th, we'll continue The Inner Circle tradition of sharing great music experiences while featuring a Caribbean vibe. Jamaican steel drum performer Calvin Wilson will offer a steel drum workshop focused on kids, at 3:30 PM, and will perform for all from 4:00 until around 6:30 PM - Edwin will mix it up as well.
