BUSINESS MANAGER Dennis Boggs

EDITOR Tim Dmoch

Welcome! With the publication of the 2011 edition of the West Oakland Directory, we mark the 29th year of this essential community guide for the lakes area.

Inside you will find complete up-to-date information on local communities, governments, and schools, as well as county and state government. You will also find a comprehensive list of community groups which add to the fabric of life in western Oakland County.

With this year’s edition, we are once again distributing 50,000 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.

Of course, 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 50 years strong, our team also publishes Oakland Lakefront magazine, reaching 17,000 lakefront homes county-wide seven times each year; Oakland Homes, a monthly real estate magazine; and the Monthly Advertiser, a direct mail monthly shopping guide reaching about 74,000 homes in the west Oakland area.
