We are excited to bring you the November 2010 edition of The Spectrum Magazine. This
month we have a diverse collection of stories that are geared toward community-building.
Our cover story this month is on the annual International Latino Film Festival. The event
includes special free community screenings of movies and kicks off with a fabulous gala
event, a “Tribute to Women and Film.” We hope the community will respond and attend some
of the events and movies.
In her last article for The Spectrum, contributing writer Nicole Minieri writes about a new
neighborhood-building organization in Redwood City called GoGoVerde. We also have a
profile on a very special community member, Amy Morgan, who recently passed away. We
know you will enjoy reading about both.
In his column, “As I was saying…,” publisher Steve Penna gives his predictions for the upcoming
November election, discusses the potential of a new jail in Redwood City and writes about the
recent visit by Vice President Joe Biden and Sen. Barbara Boxer to a Redwood City school.
We also have our regular features on items of community interest, senior activities, parties
around town, news briefs, cultural and entertainment events, insurance tips from Russ Castle,
information from the Redwood City School District and the popular feature “A Minute With.”
Now more than ever, we encourage you to support our valuable Spectrum advertisers by
using their services when you are out in our community shopping, dining or enjoying yourself
with friends and family during the holiday season. Whether it be discounts on services or great
deals on food and beverages, many of them have special offers for you to cut out and present,
so please take the time to look over their ads this month and use their coupons and discounts.
And when you visit them, let them know you appreciate their support of our local community
publication.
We invite you to visit our website, www.spectrummagazine.net, for up-to-the-day information
about our community. Until next month, get out there and enjoy our community!
