Job Titles:

I've been reading your new neighborhood magazine and I have to say I'm so happy we finally have a place to look for Flagstaff service referrals! I also love the member profiles. It's great to learn about our neighbors. We haven't gotten to know many people in our five years as members, so I appreciate seeing everyone's talents.

Christine Raymond

Hello and welcome to Greet Lafayette! We are honored to serve the residents in Lafayette, California, and partner with local businesses that make this popular social platform possible. I am a midwestern girl who loves living in the East Bay! I started my journey with The N2 Company in Santa Cruz where I launched Pasatiempo Living for an exclusive golf course community. I made my way to Lafayette where I began a second neighborhood magazine, Life Inside Happy Valley, which evolved into Lafayette Social, a community-wide social platform. The N2 Company's new CMO (she is amazing!) guided us through a nationwide transition so all community magazines would have the same brand, hence, Greet Lafayette came to be in January 2023. We're focused on fostering community throughout Lafayette by sharing resident stories, hosting socials, and spotlighting a select group of participating businesses via print and digital advertising, custom articles, and collaborative social opportunities. Join us!

I've worked with Carrie for the past two years and she has made my life easy when it comes to advertising. She is very polite and professional when putting together my monthly ad for N2.

Carrie, in a nutshell, has been a blessing for Austin Meat Service. Thank you, Carrie, for what you do.

Kelley Ripley

Greet Corona del Mar / "Corona del Mar Life" focuses its spotlight on many aspects of our unique village. It is a beautifully presented little magazine that introduces us to the families, the businesses, and the beauty of the area, from the peaceful beaches to the busy highway which dissects it. It selects fascinating places of interest to highlight, with stories of their history. The photography is excellent. I really look forward to each month's delivery.

Why do residents look forward to pulling Stroll from their mailbox each month and reading it cover-to-cover? Because IT'S ALL ABOUT THEM! Pictures and stories about their families, kids, pets, and neighborhood events. Paul looks to partner with exceptional businesses that are committed to building lasting relationships in Moore's Mill. Don't hesitate to reach out if you want to learn how your business could take a Stroll with us! Paul is married to Kelley (22 years) and has two children: Jonathan (19) and Emily (16).
