publisher’s note H ELLO FROM KRIS T I
We know that as your parks fill up, so do your calendars, with events, trips, and volunteer activities!! We would love to hear about them! If you have an interesting story to share about one of your park residents….If you want everyone to know about something you’re doing for the community….If you hosted a shindig Winter Texans will love to hear about….If there’s news from your park that must be told….We can help you share it all! We will use these stories on our web site, on social media, in e-blasts, and even in press releases to local media outlets. This is all you have to do: 1. Write your story and send it to Chris Ardis at news@welcomehomergv.com . Chris is our editor and is charged with editing each piece before we post. Just like at the newspaper—Write—Edit—Post. 2. Send along any pictures you have to go with your story. Remember: “Pictures say a thousand words.” They also tell a thousand stories. 3. That’s it!!! We may not be able to use every story sent to us, but we will definitely work hard to use as many as possible. We love to brag about our “Wonderful Winter Texans” and our “Marvelous Member Parks,” and we appreciate your help. Let’s BRAG together! Thank you for all you do. We’re just connecting the dots,
