The Oakland Independent is honored to help share important news in our neighbors' lives, so we don't charge for any of the following announcements:
-
Birth announcements.
-
Milestone anniversaries (starting with 25 years).
-
Milestone birthdays (starting with 75 years).
-
Engagements.
-
Weddings.
-
Obituaries for people with a local connection.
-
Family reunions and class reunions (announcements before, and write-ups after).
-
News Travels (vacation photos that include a copy of the Oakland Independent).
-
Neighbors in the News (tidbits about vacations, parties, visitors, etc.).
Photos are also welcome for each of these items -- also at no charge.
All announcements are subject to editing to ensure consistency. Any notices outside of our guidelines may be run as paid advertising; we'll let you know if that is needed.
The deadline for each week's newspaper is noon Monday.
