With this digital version of our fiscal year 2007 annual report, Community Renewal has utilized technology to bring life to the short stories told in our print piece. The video and moving images found on this site add context to our work and will, we hope, engage our core audiences in new and meaningful ways.

It doesn’t stop there. We’ve already redesigned our three websites: www.communityrenewalsociety.org, www.chicagoreporter.com and www.catalyst-chicago.org. As time goes on, we’ll work to further upgrade these portals, incorporating video, audio and interactive features.

Community Renewal will always have a physical presence in the region we serve. But we’ll also have an increased virtual presence, providing individuals and organizations with many more opportunities to interact with our staff of expert journalists and community organizers.

This is the beginning of things to come.
