Starting The Laughable News in my community has been a challenge I have enjoyed immensely. The rewards I am starting to reap have been worth every bit of the work I have done to make my community newsletter a success. The connections I am forming in my community are valuable, and mutually beneficial. I feel strongly that I am in the right place, at the right time, as it is a well known fact that advertising should be increased in a downturned economy. It pleases me, having been a small storefront owner, to be able to offer an affordable source of exclusive advertising to other small business owners, and to be able to help them keep their brand in the public eye. It is also very rewarding to hear the comments from readers each week, as I drop off the current edition. "This is such a fun paper!" "After you left last week, three of us sat down and read the whole paper and we cracked up. It was so funny!" "Thank you for offering something family friendly, and community based!"
