EditorsLetter
I am so excited to present Volume 1 of The Scout Guide Auburn & Opelika. When I set out on this journey a year ago, my goal was to celebrate the businesses and the communities I have been a part of for the last 23 years. In return, I have gained new friendships and a greater understanding of small businesses and how they are the backbone of our community. I am filled with gratitude and so much love for the Auburn/Opelika community. Creating this local guide has been such an amazing experience, and I am so honored to showcase the talent of our community. From artists to builders, medical professionals to boutique owners, jewelry designers to florists, and so many more, Auburn & Opelika has much to offer. The Scout Guide Auburn & Opelika is more than just a coffee table book. It is a collection of the stories of our community’s business owners. It is a celebration of supporting local!
To our cherished Founding Scouted Members, I want to thank you for trusting me to share your stories. Getting to know each of you and why you choose to do what you do has been one of my favorite parts of this past year. To our readers, both in the community and from afar, Welcome to The Scout Guide Auburn & Opelika Volume 1!
Thank you for joining us in celebrating our community and Volume 1 of The Scout Guide Auburn & Opelika!
