Northshore
Links... Everything
Northshore!
|
In the
spring of
2008, after
completing
the
year-long Leadership
St. Tammany
program,
designed to
equip
emerging
community
leaders,
David Ellis
- a longtime
St. Tammany
resident -
began
considering
the idea of
building a
community
web portal
for the
Northshore.
|
|
 |
Inspired
by what
he
learned
through
Leadership
St.
Tammany,
and
eager to
expand
his
community
involvement, David began
building
Northshore
Links into
the
online
resource
it is
today. NorthshoreLinks.com
was
launched
July 1,
2008,
and has
been
going
strong
ever
since. |
An online resource for
Northshore residents and
visitors alike,
Northshore Links
provides local news,
weather, sports, event
calendars, an online
forum, great
topical and local blogs, and
links to organizations,
businesses, restaurants,
entertainment, schools,
colleges, city and
parish contacts,
libraries, parks,
recreation, churches,
TV, radio, classifieds,
maps, phone books,
coupons, and much more.
With a strong community
focus, Northshore Links
has had the privilege of
partnering with and
promoting a number of
community organizations
including the Mary Bird
Perkins Cancer Center, Upward

Services, Habitat for
Humanity, the Food Bank

Association, Hospice

Paul's Alumni
Association, St. Tammany
Humane Society and
various festivals
including the
Madisonville Wooden Boat
Fest, Mandeville Seafood

effort to give back,
5% of Northshore

is donated to local
non-profit
organizations.
