When the challenge was put to IntraMedia Networks: "Let’s help everyone read…let’s start when they are little tykes; let’s share their curiosity…let’s share a story!” IntraMedia proposed the creation of “StoryHour America”, a weekly theatrical reading presentation in conjunction with an international children's book publisher and multiple chains of family restaurants throughout the United States.

 

StoryHour America™ is a proprietary zip code specific Arts & Literature program in a self-created network of 5,000+ nationwide family restaurants and certain franchisees, a national network of independent childrens book sales representatives, and an equal number of contiguous high schools in each of thousands of member communities. A October 2010 launch is planned. 'Social Courtesy' programming will also be a new addition to the StoryHour America 'curriculum'. 

 

Once in place and managed online, community by community, “StoryHour America” will provide day of event ‘Story-Hosts’ and the ‘Student-Readers’ to tutor the process. Additionally, community schools and school districts will benefit through a communal network of enhanced promotion and a direct connect to unique fundraising opportunities. While it delivers storytelling to our young friends, “StoryHour America” will also deliver needed dollars to the local school system as we share stories and revenue.

 

 

 

 

Community NewsNet™ is a network of community newspapers in the surround of Boston (Sept 2010). Their ubiquitous, 24/7 versioning will be available online as Community VoxPOP™

 

The prototype and framework of the program was created in a highly ranked, high income suburban community on Cape Ann, Massachusetts. Here, a 15+ year old prototype is the model for Community NewsNet and Community VoxPOP/Local.

 

The Community NewsNet publishing program is sponsored under the umbrella of an IntraMedia Networks privately funded non-profit, 501(c)(3), and national grant-funding journalism organizations and interest groups. 

 

Localized content - text and multimedia – is licensed through the non-profit to an independent private company, CommunityVoxPOP. It is then filtered and provided attribution through a network of professional journalists, editors, and in some instances, enhanced for regional news coverage, before being posited online. 

 

 

Formal public launch of Community NewsNet is scheduled for September, 2010 to coincide with the start of the school year in the surround of Boston. 

 

The electronic publishing schedule for the Community NewsNet begins in September and runs through May; ten monthly editions. Online news will be available 24/7 and year round. Competitions are planned to follow in the Summer months. Competitive events in the Arts & Letters, Music & Theatre, Math & Science are projected as year-end events in a IntraMedia managed Boston venue at Faneuil Hall/Quincy Marketplace or the Seaport World Trade Center.

 

Community NewsNet is the topical embrace of social networking and a combination of citizen-photo-journalism; online. 

 

 

 

 

Here’s Boston™ provides a multi-media snapshot of all that is around us. Boston is a buzz of a hub…a Sports Town, it’s a Collegiate Community, a Financial Center, and it is picturesque; with a few idiosyncrasies...eh!

 

At Here’s Boston, visitors receive their first welcome to “The Hub”. At its core is a multi-million dollar movie/media exhibition – City Discovery Center – that allows visitors to learn of Boston, its people, and all of its multiple personalities, during a dramatic 15-minute film experience.

 

Debuting online in the Summer, 2010 then in the physical world at Constitution Wharf at the Old Navy Yard in the Spring, 2011, Here’s Boston content is being created and assisted by a variety of sources: students from Boston grade schools, area colleges and universities, and local residents and businesses. What better way to learn about the ‘Best of Boston’ than from those Bostonians living here and daily exploring its interesting nooks, crannies.

 

 

 

 

Here’s Boston/SportsHQ™ is loud but simple: “Welcome to Boston, 

come celebrate with us!”

 

 

 

Red Sox Nation, the New England Patriots, Celtic Pride, and the ‘Bruise‘n Bruins, are catalysts to our sports lineage.

 

Sports interest in Boston begins in grade school, youth sports, and with schoolboy, schoolgirl, collegiate, amateur sports. Sports are ALL around us when you walk Boston...Celtic Coach Red Auerbach sits on a park bench at Faneuil Hall Marketplace, Bill Rodgers' bronzed Marathon running shoes are nearby, Ted Williams stands tall outside Fenway Park while thousands tour the antique ballyard behind him. The arches of Harvard Stadium are nearby to Harvard Yard, straddling the Charles River, home to the Fall rowing classic, the Head of the Charles Regatta. 

 

You come to Boston, you immerse yourself in sports...and of course their related charities and philanthropies! The latter is perhaps the best most productive part.

 

Here’s Boston/SportsHQ will entertain all with visits and stories about Fenway Park, Harvard Stadium, the home of the Bruins and Celtics, Harry Agganis Arena at BU, even Cy Young’s statue at Northeastern, home of the first World Series...peel back the onion of sports in Boston and we'll take you back 100's of years. (Look for annual presentations with varied sports themes starting Winter, 2010-11).

 

 

 

IntraNexus Exhibitions & Seminars are on their way to Causeway Street, home headquarters of the TD Bank Garden and Archstone Avenir. Three of the countries largest exhibition licensing companies are partnering with IntraNexus Exhibitions to bring the world's most exciting and educational shows to this historic harbor-side venue in the heart of Boston. Look for the opening of Our Body: The Universe Within, www.ourbodytheuniversewithin.com and later in the Fall 2010 Our Body 3D: The Human Architecture the IMAX movie of the internationally acclaimed exhibition.      

 

 

Walk-a-thons…Run-a-thons…and THE CAUSE Celebré are more a part of the Boston story than Boston itself, it is part of our DNA…we marched THEN, we still march! Why wouldn't YOU if your us, or here in Boston visiting...

 

When you come to Boston you can walk the Freedom Trail, you can remember the Boston Massacre, or even throw tea into the harbor. You can be a free-spirit. Today’s news is tomorrow’s history…we’re ALL significant!

 

 

When you think about it, this city has ALWAYS marched, run, or walked for a cause! We’ve ‘Walked’, and ‘Run’ for freedom…from the very beginning! But it’s not always in the pursuit of happiness, sometime it’s all about life, and others, too… Join with us and other ‘Bostonians’ in our seasonal events…on the Rose Kennedy Greenway, to combat: Cancer, Cystic Fibrosis, Diabetes, Muscular Dystrophy…chronic illnesses all, and many more. They need our help, they need your help. Let’s meet on the Rose Kennedy Greenway in Boston, and Help YOUR Cause!

· Arecibo,a computer-based web application that tracks, stores and manages event, exhibition, and show attendees and their contact information;

 

· Gyro, a web-based application to help guarantee consistency and quality in subscription and reservation-specific collateral information and ‘packets’;

 

· Polaris allows event, hospitality, meeting, and trade show planners to monitor flight arrival and departure times, along with additional travel arrangements, for their attendees, and from a single source;

 

· MedioSync enables the global synchronization of digital display presentations – indoors and outdoors – to create a custom audio and video ‘look’ for hosted event programming.
