What residents and local sources write about Welgelegen
Tijdens de koffieochtend op woensdag 15 november is er een koffielezing voor alle bewoners uit Welgelegen, de Koninginnebuurt en Bosch en Vaart. Het thema is: Cyberveiligheid. De wijkagent en andere veiligheidsexperts van de gemeente Haarlem zijn uitgenodigd om voorlichting te geven. Denk hierbij aan: het herkennen van babbeltrucs, cybercrime, het beschermen van eigendommen en identiteit…
Op de avond voor het Bevrijdingsfestival wordt op het hoofdpodium (op het grote veld tegenover paviljoen Welgelegen) het gratis toegankelijke Herdenkingsconcert georganiseerd.
De wijkkrant komt meestal uit in de week vóór een ‘grote’ schoolvakantie. De deadline voor die uitgave is ongeveer 6 weken voor het begin van die vakantie (dus 5 weken vóór publicatie). De oplage is 2000 exemplaren, waarvan circa 100 worden verspreid buiten de buurt (o.a. in Welgelegen, bij Gemeentefunctionarissen en bij omliggende wijkplatforms). Kranten worden gedrukt door MEO, waar ook mensen met een afstand tot de arbeidsmarkt een baan hebben.
