A Few Things That We Currently Offer:

We have many different sections of interest in our site and we are adding to them for 2011 but here are a few that we hope that you have noticed: (click the links to see the sections)

NWIMe.com Community ConnectWe have had big success reaching some of the key components of Community outreach in our Community Press Releases section but we have now gone further. We now have the 5 Counties; Lake, Porter, La Porte, Jasper and Newton separated so that it will be easier to see what is going on in a specific County or the Region in whole.

We will be taking this year to make a more complete connection with the different sources that each County has to offer including local press releases, sports news, events and more…

Our Media Maniac (Tom Perkins) recaps the latest weekend box office winners and losers with this weekly feature and also previews the upcoming releases.  These features are tied to our Video Community and include the latest movie trailers.  You can also join in on the new Movie Chat section that we have started in out Chat Community to voice your opinion!

We are big fans of the Gary SouthShore RailCats and we plan to continue our coverage for their 2011 season.

We are also building our sports resources to include College, High School and more for 2011.  You can help us by letting us know what you want to see!

Social Networking?

Latest Additions for 2011:

We publish the latest number draws from the Hoosier Lottery game to make it easy for you to find and are published daily.

We have started a custom page section to display businesses and organizations located in Northwest Indiana and connect them to the community.  This is a new feature in progress and will be our primary focus in 2011 and in the future with the intention of having an intuitive business directory to find your local merchants, but to also see who is offering activities and events in your local area, county, or region.

We would like to extend a special thanks to the following people and organizations for believing in us:

Andy Viano, Nikki Kimbrough and Ed McCaskey –  Gary SouthShore RailCats

Sandy Basala – Lake County Parks

Tiffany Bley – Chesterton/Duneland Chamber of Commerce

Emily Banas – Indiana University Northwest

Erika Sheeringa – SouthShore CVA

I’m sure we forgot someone, but we just wanted to say thank you again, and we look forward to an awesome 2011 !!
