Publisher
from the
Even before we went to print
on this issue, one of my proof-
ers said "I think this is the best
one yet". I hope so. Our goal is to make each issue bet-
ter than the last. That may sound like a lofty goal, but
we feel that we learn more each time, and so it would
naturally follow that we get better each time.
This issue is "Olde World". The art reminded me of
things reminiscent of the old world and so we embraced
that theme. Our stories are about the rich cultural heri-
tage people brought with them and the ways in which
they celebrate traditions from their forefathers in our
country. One of the things that make this country so
wonderful is its diversity. We have the best that other
cultures have to offer all in one nation. So, you will see
games, food, dress, wine, traditions and more from all
over the world in this issue.
And we have added something new that we hope you
love. Arts at The Lake is now a 3 year old art walk along
Highway 36. Flair has partnered with them to develop
and distribute their playbill. Please let me know if you
like it. With our love of art and an invitation to work
with this group, there was only one possible response.
