Launched on December 20, 2021, Hon Penn in a release on the advertising-supported publication said part of the mission of the newsletter is to bring solutions to issues plaguing the community.
“As the world faces turbulent times brought on by the onslaught of COVID-19, my district committee and I, believe that it is imperative that we as a people in the East End/Long Look community move forward as one people, towards one destiny.”
He said as communities, persons experience the same common problems, common struggles and desire the same basic fulfillment in life.
In his opening newsletter message said, “Once again, it is my pleasure to address you, my people, through this platform, not as a political opponent, but as an individual, who believes that the East End Long Look community must move forward as one people, towards one destiny. Hence, I see the need to take the initiative to produce this newsletter for the empowerment of our communities,” he said.
According to the Opposition Leader, historically, the East End/Long Look communities have been intertwined with residents of both districts who over the years have worked hard and continue to do so in efforts to create, empower and maintain a better way of life for present and future generations.
“I am encouraging you to be part of our newsletter, as together we bring awareness to some of our root problems, analyze the issues, offer solutions, as well as feature any content that fulfills the purpose of our Community Newsletter,” He said Penn said.
Some of the features in the newsletter include articles by Karia Penn, Inspector John Antoine, and VI author Verna Penn-Moll
