As you probably know, the PWC site has been changing a lot since its launch in September of this year:

-We've got bloggers! Check out the user blogs being written by PWC users, and consider starting your own (it's free and easy):

-We've got forums! Come discuss the latest headlines, what you're doing in your life and the longer term project we're taking on to build a better Wayne County.

-Our events calendar continues to grow as we track down more and more of the progressive events happening in our community. From art to elections, music to parenting, there's something for everyone.

And that's just the beginning. We're still working on lots of great new features and content for the Progressive Wayne County community, and we want your help. If you have suggestions and/or want to find out how to get more involved, just let us know. But most of all - please spread the word about PWC!

Thanks again for your interest and participation.
