NEWSLETTER SUBMISSIONS

Did you know that the initial concept of this online town newsletter more than 20 years ago was supposed to be based around READER SUBMISSIONS!

Yup, that's right. Back then it was harder to send in news. NOW, you can just email news and photos to editor@elmwoodnebraska.com It's that simple.

Remember not everyone has Facebook. Really they don't. ...AND Facebook doesn't show all the content from community groups.

By subscribing on your phone you will receive a TEXT every Wednesday and an easy-to-access link.

So make sure to submit your news to editor@elmwoodnebraska.com for added exposure for your event or activity.

Many rely on the weekly Wednesday text message that links directly to the website.

Since our Elmwood website is updated on a weekly basis GOOGLE and visited by 100s of people per week, search engines rank this site number ONE on Google. Normally Wikipedia, map-quest, or city-data comes up first.
