FROM
THE PUBLISHER - ROBERT KIRWAN
Reaching Over
20,000 People Every Week
The
Valley East Today Electronic Newsletter has been very well received by the
"virtual community" to which it is being delivered each week. I
also know that it is being forwarded to thousands of people each week who
find one or more items that may be of interest to the friends and
acquaintances in their address book. The residents of Valley East and its
neighbour, Capreol, have a profound influence on the City of Greater
Sudbury. Just about everyone living in this region either knows
someone; works with someone; or goes to school with someone who lives in
Valley East. Therefore what happens in Valley East and Capreol
becomes important to everyone. Over the next several months we expect the
Valley East Today Community Web Site and Electronic Newsletter to take on
an even larger role in the growth and development of Valley
East. Awareness is critical to keeping a community alive and we are
convinced that the internet will provide us with the fuel to help Valley
East take on a true leadership role in developing a positive image for the
entire City of Greater Sudbury. I hope you enjoy the feature articles
and stories that are highlighted in this edition of the Electronic
Newsletter. If you find anything that you think might be of interest to
any friends and acquaintances that may be in your own "address
book" please forward va this message to them. With
your help we expect the Valley East Today Electronic Newsletter to reach
over 20,000 people each week. For

Changing
Your Focus May Be All You Need To Achieve Success
Have you ever come up against a problem that you just couldn’t solve?
Where it felt like you were simply banging your head against a brick wall
- over and over and over again - without making any “headway”? Sure
you have. And can you remember how you finally came up with a solution?
You most likely took a step back and approached the problem from a
different angle, with a new focus which enabled you to find a simple
solution which was there all along.
