OCP E-Communications

The Office of Community Partnerships in Montgomery County is trying to spread the word to the greater public about programs, events, and other information (even recipes!) via their weekly e-bulletin and monthly e-newsletter, entitled Partnerships.

OCP Director Bruce Adams spoke of his office's attempt to publicize, moving from the original mail-outs to cyberspace.

"We're trying to reach as wide an audience as would be interested," he said. "Folks in faith-based groups, community leaders, information leaders, and others."

The Partnerships e-newsletter is an interesting collection of feature articles, observations, event notices, and calendar events.

In April, there are profiles of new staff, including Lily Qi, the Community Liaison for Asian, Pacifice Islander, and Middle Eastern Americans, and Reverend Tim Warner, the Community Liaison for the African American and Faith Communities. There is also a trivia question about the makeup of the African immigrant community in Montgomery County. Adams is responsible for the aforementioned recipe, his mother Polly Webster's rice pudding, which appeared in the first issue last October.

The OCP April e-newsletter, and subscription link, can be found here.

The OCP is also looking for help with the monthly e-newsletter. Please get in touch with the staff via e-mail if you would like to get involved with Partnerships.
