I would like to take a moment to put my friend Craig Lesser in the spotlight here. Craig, through his work with The Community Choice, formerly The Cash Coupon, recently helped raise an impressive $15,000 for the Muskego Food Pantry! This write-up was recently published on Muskego Patch about the feat. Craig also runs the St. Paul's Business Builders Networking Group that I belong to. Way to go, Craig!

The Happy Together Tour Visits the Wisconsin State Fair
We're always talking about various Milwaukee business networking opportunities, Milwaukee business news, Milwaukee networking events, etc. on this blog, so let's take a moment and talk about something that is arguably a little more fun.
Many of you know that, in addition to serving as president of Intrepid Innovations and being primarily responsible for this blog, I'm also a freelance journalist. Lately, I've been trying to dabble more in photography as a means to enhance my written skills when the opportunity arises.
That being said, if you are a fan of 1960s rock/pop, you must check out my recent photo shoot (92 photos in all that made the final cut!) and accompanying commentary for Muskego Patch on the Happy Together Tour, which made a stop at the Wisconsin State Fair last Sunday, August 7th.
The tour consists of The Buckinghams, The Grass Roots, The Association, Mark Lindsay (the voice of Paul Revere and the Raiders), and The Turtles.
It was a great concert! Though I enjoy the music of all the groups that performed, I'm particularly a big Buckinghams fan, so admittedly, that's what ultimately sealed the deal for me and prompted me to purchase a ticket.
And speaking of The Buckinghams, the group's publicist contacted me the same afternoon my story was published and complimented my photos. That was a pretty neat and exciting experience!
So check it out:

Also, if you scroll down to the comments section of the story, you'll see that I posted links to all of the bands' Web sites, as well as to some vintage performances and interviews!
Enjoy!

Patch.com: Great for Your Community, Great for Small Businesses
By Aaron S. Robertson
Have you heard of Patch.com but haven't really investigated it yet and still wondering what it's all about? Or, maybe you haven't heard of it at all? Well, read on. You want to know about it.
Patch.com is a company owned by AOL and is broken up into multiple Web sites (by way of sub-domains), with each site serving as a news and information source for a specific community in the United States.
Each Patch site has a full-time editor in addition to a number of freelance writers. There are also regional editors.
In addition to serving as president of Intrepid Innovations, I recently became a freelance writer for Muskego Patch. I love community journalism, and I already have a few years worth of experience in my background with a traditional print newspaper here in Muskego, so this is a great fit for me.
Not every state is represented by Patch.com, but new communities and states are being added to the Patch fold all the time. To see what states and communities already have a presence on Patch, simply check out the U.S. map on the home page.
There are already quite a few Patch sites representing Milwaukee-area communities, which I think is awesome.
These community news and information Web sites are great for everyone. For news junkies, they deliver breaking news and fresh content continuously throughout the day, something that traditional print newspapers and local TV news stations simply cannot achieve. For people who simply want to keep up on current happenings from time to time where they live, this is a great resource, since the big metropolitan newspapers often ignore daily life in smaller communities. Readers can also post comments under each news story, which keeps them actively involved and returning to the site time and time again.
For small business owners, each Patch site features a local business directory. Submitting information for the directory is simple and free to do. Posting classified ads and events is also easy to do - and free.
So now that you've been given a primer on what Patch is all about, check it out. This isn't just the latest fad that's eventually going to fade away. I really suspect that Patch is going to transform journalism here in the United States like never before.
