The Coronado Dispatch CommitteeEvery neighborhood has stories worth telling. Help us tell ours!The Coronado Dispatch has long been a way to celebrate our neighborhood, share important information, highlight local people and places, and keep our community connected.

Help Shape the Future of the Dispatch | As printing costs continue to rise, we're thinking creatively about how to make the Dispatch sustainable for years to come. Our printed editions are made possible through limited grant funding, and we're exploring what the right balance of print and digital publishing could look like moving forward. That might mean new funding partnerships, different printing and distribution approaches, a revised publication schedule, or new ways to make our online stories more accessible. We want neighbors to be part of that conversation! |
Ready to Get Involved? | Join us at an upcoming meeting, contribute to a story, or become a regular committee volunteer.
