ILoveAltoona.com needs your help

If you haven't yet, please answer the poll at the right side of the home page! Our team will be taking the poll results into consideration as we begin to add "missing" features back to ILoveAltoona.com! Because ILoveAltoona.com is a grassroots website run by local residents, and because of the mission of the site, we have a lot of flexibility in pursuing features that will help inform, challenge and inspire the Altoona PA community. We want many of you to take part in this. We need some volunteers, and some business sponsors, to help us fulfill our threefold goals of (1) helping residents and visitors enjoy Altoona PA, (2) helping people and businesses find needed resources and information, and (3) encouraging people to take action to "love thy neighbor" and serve their community.

I was born in Altoona in the 70s and grew up in Altoona (Fairview) and in Bellwood, where my parents are from and moved us when I was a kid. I left the area for college, but during those years, I experienced a growing desire to return to Altoona. I wanted to be involved in ministry here and I wanted to make a difference in the Altoona community. Thus, I see ILoveAltoona.com as more than just a website -- it is a place where good ideas can be aired and (hopefully) turned into effective plans, resulting in helpful action.

To get to that point, ILoveAltoona.com is going to need some help. If YOU are interested in participating in some way at helping us serve the Altoona area community, please contact me. If you are a business owner and would like a solid (and very low cost) advertising deal, drop us a line and we can get you information. Have a great week!
