After six years without price increases, we find it necessary to raise the ad rates for 2009-2010 (fiscal year October 2009 to September 2010) for the Northwood News, the newsletter of the Northwood-Four Corners Civic Association.  With an ad in the News, you can reach every one of the ~1,490 households in the North Four Corners area.  The News is hand-delivered to each home at the beginning of October, December, February, April, and June, when our membership meetings are held.

Ads also may be prepared in an Adobe InDesign or PageMaker file; please include copies of all graphics used (these are required by the printer).  We also can lay out an ad for you if you send text and (optional) art work, or create one for you; there is no charge for this service.
