Issue 341 - Our Own News - <strong>December</strong> <strong>2011</strong> Community news for <strong>Wollombi</strong> and surrounding districts 12
The following pages contain advertising of local businesses and service providers in the <strong>Wollombi</strong> <strong>Valley</strong>, who without their support, Our Own News would not have the funds to be published. This new format of the OON will be run on a trial basis and your comments and feedback is encouraged and would be appreciated. This format may make OON a little more user friendly when trying to locate various businesses and service providers in <strong>Wollombi</strong> <strong>Valley</strong>. Giving our support back to these businesses, especially in the economic climate we are facing, is vital for the growth and sustainability of our <strong>Valley</strong>. It would be very sad indeed if the business owners, tradespeople, and providores gradually started moving their business and perhaps even their families away from the valley. While it may seem, in some way idealistic, lets get behind our locals who operate these businesses and use the directory as a reference, who knows, you might find a business or service that you weren‘t aware operated from <strong>Wollombi</strong> <strong>Valley</strong> and use the service or recommend them to others!
