Welcome to Your Local Buzz
What’s the idea behind our community website? Over the years, working with local youth groups, I have found it very difficult to get the word out. You share on social media, in the paper and radio, put up posters, send emails and add it to your website…whew. Yet most people still did not hear your message. We want to change this!
Our focus is to be the place to find out “What’s the Buzz” in our communities.
Our goal is to:
- Create connections and bring together family, friends, neighbors, visitors and businesses.
- Support our non-profits by giving them somewhere to share everything about their group and connect them with community members. Then they can spend more time creating and running their programs and less time trying to let everyone know about it.
- Help promote local businesses through our directory, flyers, and menus.
- Share opportunities and options to our residents and the visitors to our region.
- Keep the content (including all advertising) 100% local.
We want to BEE the place to go to find out about everything!
That is why viewing the website is FREE and always will be.
Our “Buzz User Guide” includes our terms and conditions, code of conduct and disclaimer. It outlines how to access and use the options Your Local Buzz has available to you on or through our website; these are called our “services”.
If you still have questions, please send us an email or message us.
