Bridging the Maitland - Community News Magazine

Trish MacQueen, the publisher, operates an international E-Publishing company from “The Shoppe” - her art studio/office and home of "Bridging the Maitland Community News magazine.  Since "Bridging the Maitland" does NOT have a staff of reporters, we rely heavily on community-minded citizens to keep us up-to-date on what is happening by supplying us with written articles and photos about events they attend or organize, announcements, news, coming events, etc.  All submissions must include a name and phone number for verification purposes.

*  Note:  Articles submitted become the property of the newspaper, but any photo supplied with an article will be returned, if requested, once scanned.   Photos will be placed in a return envelope for the owner to pick up, the next time they pass by.

How to submit information to Bridging the Maitland:

1. Drop into the office and leave it with Trish – the coffee is always on and visits are welcome.
2. Drop it into our drop box in front of the office, as you drive past, or if Trish is away that day.
3. Send it to us by email – scan your picture and send as attachment with your article.
