“Go Local!”

“Go Local!” is GWN's motto, starting from May 27, 2008, a motto started by GWN Founder Diane Zhou's dad. “So many big chain companies, like McDonald's, own newspapers that turned from local to national or worldwide. That loses the meaning of 'local news', so I support GWN,” Diane's dad told GWN. GWN is being motivated by this motto. Without it, GWN would have disappeared long ago in November, 2007!

Birthdays!
So many birthdays! Amanda Chang, Grace Ching, Cynthia Yao, and Claire Qian all have birthdays in September! Say “Happy Birthday” to them all, especially Amanda, our Gingerbread Weekly News editor. Amanda had a birthday party at Cal Skate in Milpitas. Let's see what she and her friends (including Diane and Alex) did at her party...
It all started at about 2 o'clock on September 23rd, which was Amanda's exact birthday. Most of the people arrived and started roller skating a little bit. Once everybody arrived, they ate a cupcake, a hot dog, and had a drink. Then everyone went to roller skate. It was really fun!
As you know, Diane ice-skates. “It's not exactly the same, but close enough. It wasn't too hard to be able to skate around the rink, but still harder for me than ice-skating,” Diane told Gingerbread Weekly News. “I guess it was good for a first try.” There was a race (everyone was really fast), but no one from Amanda's party participated. There was also a Holky Polky dance to celebrate all birthdays for the day. That was fun too. But most of all, let's say “Happy Birthday!” to Amanda! She is our important editor for Gingerbread Weekly News.
Remember also to say “Happy Birthday” to Grace (who also went to Amanda's party), Cynthia, and Claire.
