Hello, neighbor! I am Karen Altom, owner and publisher of Postcards Magazine, and we are excited to be here!

Postcards Magazine is a homegrown, family-owned publication group dedicated to promoting and connecting people in the communities we serve. You’ll see by the names of the team members listed here--when I say family-owned, I mean it! We started in the Huntsville/Madisonville area twelve years ago with our Piney Woods edition, then added a Lake Conroe edition that is eleven years old. You are holding the very first copy of the Eastex Edition of Postcards Magazine

Thank you for the way you have welcomed us. Every time I am around town, I am reminded how very much I love small towns and why we do these magazines. Community is important! I grew up in a community of about 3,500 people. Everyone knew everyone, and loving your neighbor was a little easier, because we saw each other in person more often than on a social media screen.

The goal of Postcards is simple. Promote the positive! We want you to feel more connected to your neighbors and community. We want you to be more proud of your community. We want to be part of what makes your community so special. Our slogan at Postcards is “Community. It’s what we do.”

I look forward to meeting you!

~ Karen

Welcome to the first issue of Postcards Magazine for the greater Cleveland/ Tarkington area. It’s my pleasure to introduce myself as your associate publisher, and I am excited to be a part of the Postcards team.

The journey started when we met with the Greater Cleveland Chamber of Commerce in December of last year. Working with Victoria and Courtney was a dream, and their local contacts allowed us to connect with the community and ask for your support in bringing Postcards Magazine to you. With a positive response, we began collaborating with advertisers in mid-January to build the foundation for our first issue.

Although this edition is just getting started, we have big plans. Our features will grow as we add new sponsors. We will be sharing favorites from the community like your precious pets and grandkids, as well as delicious recipes. This fall, we will add our section highlighting exceptional students and teachers. We are grateful for the opportunity to work with you, and we look forward to growing with this community and having you join us on the journey!
