General Manager’s Note — December 2007
General Manager’s Note — December 2007
Written by Laura Wickett Friday, 07 December 2007
As I sat down to write this note, I was surrounded by the sights of the holidays with a Central Texas setting — spring-like weather and the sounds of the ice cream man stirring up business in my neighborhood. I love this time of year and the memories that come with it.
After attending the Leadership Cedar Park session which introduced us to the non-profit organizations working in and for Cedar Park and Leander, I am more aware of how much the community can do to help its less fortunate members. These organizations are always in need of donations of time and energy along with resources to provide to those in need.
This month, we also welcome a large care-giving organization to the area: Cedar Park Regional Medical Center. While most people hope they never find themselves in a hospital, Cedar Park Regional has made an extra effort to prepare for patient comfort. With all the growth we are experiencing, it is exciting to see a hospital — one of the hallmarks of an established community — in the heart of Cedar Parks developing area.
As our quality of life is affected with the opening of a hospital, new roads and new retail developments, the decisions made by our representatives in Washington D.C. also have a local impact. However, we realize that many citizens have no idea of what their representatives do in Washington. Our publisher, editor and Round Rock/Pflugerville assistant editor traveled to Washington D.C. this fall to tell the story of a day in the life of a congressman.
On a final note, the holidays are a great time to support local business.
We at Community Impact are thankful for you, our readers, and the support you have shown. We wish you a happy holiday season!
