General Manager’s Note - March 2008
General Manager’s Note - March 2008
Written by Laura Wickett Monday, 24 March 2008
With spring around the corner, this is the time of year when I feel the need to create, whether by trying a new hobby or planting flowers. The warm weather brings people outdoors to enjoy the sunshine.
Cedar Park and Leander have big park projects in the works, and residents will have a wide variety of outdoor activities available to them soon. Some of our most frequently asked questions are about when or if the Texas X Park will begin construction. In addition to this privately-owned outdoor venue, the cities’ parks and recreation departments have been gearing up for spring, and we’ve provided news about all of this as you make your spring and summer outdoor plans.
If you’re looking for an easy way to make a difference in the lives of others, this month’s non-profit profile will give you an outlet. Notes of Hope, begun by Cedar Park resident, Jayne Clark, gathers comforting letters from volunteers to send to military families who have lost a loved one killed while serving our country.
Spring is a time for growth, and our company continues to grow in a number of ways. One of my favorites of the past few weeks was the birth of Kaitlyn Sarah Vaught on March 2 to our assistant editor, Kara Vaught.
Another addition (or edition) is in the south Austin area. On April 11, Community Impact Newspaper launches its fifth paper to businesses and residents in the Southwest Austin area. We look forward to bringing hyper-local news to another part of the Greater Austin area.
