Welcome to the Emerald Lakes Free Press.

In response to the Emerald Lakes Board of Directors’ vote to seize control of the Emerald News, thereby attempting to silence the exchange of information, news, and opinions of its members, we announce the Emerald Lakes Free Press blog.  I am Lola Lauri, former editor-in-chief of the Emerald News.  Along with Buz Whelan, former managing editor, we pledge to use this page as place to inform and discuss issues that relate to ELA residents and their families.

Give us some time to get our thoughts together and if you have an idea or an suggestion for something you would like to see on this page, please leave a comment and let us know.
