"Thank you for a special newspaper!  I am very happy to read about the people and activities.  You really highlight how nice it is to live in Concord.  I've lived here for 25 years.  We wouldn't have such great articles about our town and our people in the regular newspapers. 
 
Thanks so much."

 I'm grateful for a publication full of local, useful and relevant information!  I appreciate the efforts put into 
providing 'news' that is useful to me, can help me to make decisions and act locally.  I'm tired of tragedy thousands of miles away which I have no control over.  The Concordian is what news should be.  Thank you and please keep up the good work."

 Your paper opened my eyes to how others feel about pressing matters in the Mount Diablo Unified School District; you let me know that I am not alone.  I now know that I can have coffee with our mayor and break world records with my neighbors.  Thank you for everything!"
