PUBLISHERS' NOTE Dear Valued Readers, Happy New Year! As we embrace the freshness of 2024, we're pleased to announce some creative and substantive changes to our magazine, inspired by our commitment to innovation and driven by the invaluable feedback we've received from our readers and community partners. Of course, while change is a good thing, we will always stay true to our philosophy of delivering positive news about the people and events in Georgetown and towns around. For this issue, and moving forward, we are proud to introduce the collected expertise of a bevy of subject matter experts. These local writers will be contributing regular and unique insights and perspectives while adding new dimensions to our content. As we embrace the new, we will also be honoring our roots. We're re-imagining some classic features our longtime readers will remember fondly— blending the best of what's new and what's nostalgic with a new look to entertain, educate, and encourage. Plus, as the region continues to grow, we are growing with it. We are proud of our growth over the past year and hope you will have an opportunity to see and share our other, distinguished magazines, each delivering its own unique blend of content and viewpoints to residents across Central Texas, with even more to come in 2024. Wishing you blessings and success in the new year.
