Welcome to the NEW East Greenwich News!

by Elizabeth McNamara | Sep 1, 2014

East Greenwich News launched last February as a blog. Today it turns a page and comes to you as a full-fledged website. What you already love about EG News – the content – remains the same, but the organization is changing a bit and the address is easier to find and remember: eastgreenwichnews.com.

We unveil it officially today, Sept. 1, but it remains a work in progress. We want reading EG News to be a pleasing experience, so if you have thoughts, suggestions, complaints, please let us know (send emails to [email protected]).

We will now be selling ad space on the website as well as in the email newsletter. We have good rates and reach a very targeted EG-focused audience. If you are interested in advertising on the site, contact [email protected].

Thanks to Deb Acheson for our great new logo, Bil Herron for LOADS of help with the backend website stuff, and Alan Clarke for help with preparing ads and being a sounding board – your belief in EG News has been inspiring. Thanks to everyone who has made a contribution to EG News, voiced support and sent story ideas and tips. I am very grateful. Finally, really big thanks to Neal McNamara – husband, friend, and stalwart supporter of EG News.

Value the news you get here on East Greenwich News? As a 501-c3, we depend on reader support. Become a sustaining (monthly) donor or make a one-time donation! Click on the Donate button below or send a check to EG News, 18 Prospect St., East Greenwich, RI 02818. Thanks.
