There was once an author who donated some of her books to a Youngstown city school class of youngsters. She came to class to read to the children and sign their books. One young girl, however, asked could she please not sign her book. Unsure if she should feel hurt, she asked the girl why? "Because it's my only book," she replied. When someone I know heard that story, they felt compelled to buy books for the whole kindergarten class at Harding. You can help, too.

Hey Tyler,
My name is Scott Fullerton, and I am with Accent Media, LLC. We just moved our company from Howland to Downtown Youngstown in August. We are a four year old production company, specializing in all things audio, video and multimedia. We chose dowtown Youngstown because of all the possibilities that exist here, and I have been reading Phil Kidd's blog, since the idea to move here was decided. We try to be a very socially active company in the Mahoning Valley, and hopefully Youngstown in particular when we can. We do a community service project each quarter, and like to be civic minded. The average age of my editing and shooting staff is 25, so we have a very young, involved staff.
I really enjoyed the feature the Vindicator did on you and Phil and other bloggers in the area. I have done personal blogs in the past and really enjoy the format. I have read over all the blogs that were in the article, and would really like to keep in touch with all of you, as we help Youngstown enjoy the renaissance that it deserves. I also wanted to let you know that I linked you over at our blog and if you wouldn't mind finding a place in ytown businesses or something to link either our blog or website, I would really appreciate it. Keep me informed if there is anything Accent Media can do to help out Youngstown Renaissance. Keep in touch.
