The Orinda News advertisers, past and present, listened to a brief "thank you" speech by Executive Editor Kathy Cordova, who recently completed her first year at the helm of the newspaper before a drawing was held for several great prizes.
The Orinda News held its inaugural Advertiser Appreciation Party at the iconic Orinda Theatre on Feb. 5. The theme was “We’re rolling out the red carpet for you.”
Guests walked the red carpet and enjoyed wine, beer and sumptuous appetizers. Advertisers won fantastic prizes including gift cards to the Orinda Theatre and Casa Orinda, as well as a new ad design and a full-color advertisement in The Orinda News.
It was an enjoyable evening filled with networking and mingling, as well as advertisers knowing how appreciated they are by the community, The Orinda Association and newspaper staff.
Stay tuned for next year’s Advertiser Appreciation Party and if your business serves Orinda … let’s talk!
