I’m working on an exciting project, one that I can’t tell you a lot about at this time but will as it develops. In the meantime, I’m hoping you will trust me enough to help me move the project to the next stage, if you can. Let me explain.

One of the most rewarding and satisfying things we do here at Orange City Life is tell stories about people who have done things that make them special in the eyes of others.

These “things” could be anything – the following list highlights some of the things that people do that inspire us, move us, excite us, interest us, entertain us, motivate us and more.

• People who have achieved success in sport

• People who have achieved success in business

• People who have achieved success in music

• People who have achieved success in craft

• People who have achieved success in theatre

• People who have achieved success in education

• People who have achieved success in science

• People who have achieved success in medicine

• People who have invented something and want to share it

• People who have a BIG idea to share that others may be interested in

• People who have an experience to share that others will benefit from

• People who are trying to make a name for themself as a writer

• People who are trying to make a name for themself as an artist

• People who offer a product and want more people to hear about it

• People who offer a service and want more people to hear about it

• People who know of something that others would appreciate trying

• People who know of a place somewhere here in Australia or overseas that you really think is worth visiting

I would like to tell more stories about such people, but to do so, I need to find them and that’s where I’m inviting your help.

You yourself, could be someone who fits one of the categories above, or you could simply know someone who fits one of the categories.

It doesn’t matter whether they live here in this area, or anywhere else across Australia, I’d love to hear about them. I’m simply hoping you can help with the names and contact details of people who you feel others would of should like to hear about.

They can be famous, unknown or somewhere in between, it doesn’t matter, as long as you feel their story is worth telling or if their story is told that it would help them on the road to fame, stardom or greater success.

Can you help me?

I realise that might all sound a bit obscure but I’m sure anyone who’s been reading Orange City Life for some time will know that I’m not silly and that I can be trusted to do the right thing. You will also know that our Mission Statement, in part, claims we want to bring out the best in people. What I’m hoping to do is to tell the stories of more people who are achievers or have something good to offer others, people whose stories, among other aims, will help bring out the best in others who hear them.

If anyone comes to mind, please email me with their name and contact details, a little bit about them, and anything else you feel will help me.

I’d truly appreciate any help you can give me.
