The very first day the Eastex Edition of Postcards Magazine hit the street, we started hearing from you! We have received calls, emails, and comments from all around the area.

One question I want to address is about sharing your submissions. Whatever you would like to share--pets, grandkids, recipes, etc.--the process is same for everything.

1. Go to our website www.PostcardsLive.com

2. Click on the “Contact & Share” link in the top menu

3. Fill out your info and click the box for what you want to share

4. Follow the instructions, upload your photo, and you’re done! If you have any problem, just email me at the address above or call!

Now the BIG question – Does it cost anything to submit? ABSOLUTELY NOT! Your submission is FREE to publish. Remember our goal? We want you to feel more connected to your neighbors. “Community. It’s what we do.”

While you are flipping through this issue, be sure to take a moment and thank an advertiser for helping bring this publication to you. They make what we do possible. Until next time,

~ Karen

As we move from June into the heart of summer, July brings warmer temperatures, Independence Day festivities, and an abundance of fresh produce from our gardens and roadside stands thanks to the wet, cooler June. It’s a time to be grateful and celebrate, but also to prioritize safety. Let’s stay mindful of children’s play, engage in recreational activities responsibly, and stay hydrated amidst the summer heat.

Independence Day brings us together as a community, fostering a sense of unity and shared values. We relish joyous moments, colorful fireworks, and creating lasting memories with loved ones.

Please visit Postcardslive.com and share with us! We welcome your photos, comments, and recommendations for our community magazine. Your submissions create a magazine that reflects the diverse spirit of our residents. Do you know an interesting person we should interview? Tell us! Karen provided information on how to contribute, making it a collective effort. It really is easy!

As we embrace the heart of summer, let’s celebrate, give thanks for what we have, stay safe, and nurture our community spirit. Together, we can enjoy this season and make memories to last a lifetime.
