We're just getting back from a press conference announcing the launch of the http://MyFallRiver.org website, the latest SCI community portal to be rolled out. Our partners in Fall River have assembled a good, diverse group of community organizations to serve as sponsors and launch team members. This broad initial participation seems to bode well for the success of the project.
Marcia Picard of Fall River Children in Balance commented at today's press conference announcing the site that she'd been involved in community work for some 30 years, and has been involved in countless resource directory & coordination of services projects. She's enthused to be involved in a web-based initiative that won't become dated upon completion, as is often the case with print directories!
A companion site, the Fall River YOUth Zone funded by the Community Foundation of Southeastern Massachusetts, was also announced at today's press conference. A full press release about the new sites can be downloaded below.
