www.MySanLeandro.com will soon be the number one San Leandro community website that is useful, informative, entertaining and most important- FUN!.  Ultimately, this community website will be a comprehensive source for information on and regarding the town of San Leandro. You will be able to find nearly everything you'd want to know about the town's history, public resources, clubs, chat groups, local retail, services and calendars of events.

This is a community website and therefore the community is encouraged to get involved in it's development. To contribute to this site, i.e. articles, announcements and or ideas, send them via Email.  Nearly anything suitable for family viewing can be posted. We are looking for columnist for local sports reporting, restaurant reviews, movie reviews and local news stories. We are also interested in translating the website into Spanish.

MySanleandro will have about 26 sub sections, ranging from Community Calendars, Bus. listings, classifieds, movie and book reviews, to news and public announcements. "We want to help get the word out." said Ken. "One thing we have proven with our other websites, is that we are great at helping the community stay informed on important issues and community events."

MySanLeandro.com is totally self-supporting through commercial sponsorship. I.e. advertising. The advertising will be from mainly local companies, not the flashing banners trying to sell you Viagra. And, we do NOT use pop-ups (ever)!

More about the history of this website:
MySanLeandro.com is a privately run subsidiary of KO-Websites. KO-websites is one of the Bay Area leaders in website design and hosting services, and is the maker of MyCastroValley.com. KO-Websites is owned by Ken O'Donnell, a sixth generation East Bay native. Born in Oakland, Ken has leaved in the Bay Area his entire life (except while in the USAF).

MySanLeandro.com first went live in 2000. The site was pulled off line, due to lack of support staffing. Now after gaining experience from MyCastroValley.com and securing excellent staff support, MySanLeandro will be our focus for 2004. "We are dedicated to making MySanLeandro.com a comprehensive, community oriented website, using the same energy and focus we used for the Castro Valley website." "This website will be one of the best 'Hometown' websites in the Bay Area."
