SLDN publishes News, events, concert dates, photos and weather
absolutely free for residents and visitors at this Western NY finger lake
--Silver Lake—just minutes west of Letchworth State Park where
the Grand Canyon of the East is located.
The SLDN coverage area is principally the various communities around the Lake—especially during the summer (open) season. During the winter (closed) season, there is automatically more coverage of the GLOW region which includes our neighboring counties of
Genesee, Livingston, Orleans, and Wyoming.

PUBLISHING BACKGROUND
The Rev. Greg Franklin, retired former pastor of First United Methodist
Church on Covington St. in Perry NY, comes to this project
from a rich background of print journalism, first as a
school age hobby; then on to a 10-year first career
for a chain of 5 newspapers at Leader Publishing Co.
while completing the equivalent of an Associate’s Degree
In Business Administration/Office Management/Speed Typing;
and a 9-month training opportunity at the Arizona Republic
which is a statewide daily paper published in Phoenix, AZ;
and then as a post-retirement hobby of 13 years still going,
and including 2010-2014: Very Successful Self-Employment
which he discontinued to put more time into a Silver Lake
Institute experiment with their first online presence
(June 2010-Feb. 2018) from which he retired to begin
a lake-wide newsletter covering a much broader area.
Greg has the heart of a pastor and the courage of an editor.
