Inside

PUBLISHER / PRESIDENT Susan Fancy BUSINESS MANAGER Dennis Boggs EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT Carol Barr EDITOR Tim Dmoch ASSISTANT EDITOR Kirk Pinho

Welcome! With the publication of the 2012 edition of the West Oakland Directory, we mark the 30th year of this essential community guide for the lakes area.

Inside you will find complete, up-to-date information on west Oakland municipal governments and schools, as well as county and state government. You will also find a comprehensive list of community resource groups which add to the fabric of life in western Oakland County. In addition, the 2012 West Oakland Directory includes a listing of area hospitals and outpatient facilities, a feature that had been discontinued in recent years.

With this year’s edition, we are again distributing copies of the West Oakland Directory by inserting the annual publication into home-delivered copies of the Spinal Column Newsweekly. The West Oakland Directory still remains the largest guide to life in the western portion of Oakland County, and it reaches more local residents than any other similar publication.

The local businesses you see advertising in this edition are important partners in our publishing effort because their backing makes it possible for us to bring this annual community reference guide into your home. The West Oakland Directory and the Spinal Column Newsweekly are produced by the SCN Communications Group. Independently owned and serving the community for over 50 years, our team also publishes Oakland Lakefront magazine, reaching 17,000 lakefront homes across the county seven times each year; Oakland Homes, a monthly real estate magazine; and four editions of The Monthly Advertiser, each of them direct mail monthly shopping guides collectively reaching about 99,000 homes in the west Oakland area.
