Publisher's Note - January, 2008
Written by John Garrett Monday, 07 January 2008
As we got ready to embark on the Christmas gift-giving bonanza for our kids with the help of their loving and very generous relatives, we tried to impart some early wisdom in our four year old. One of our main concerns was that this age group says exactly what they feel. We did our best to teach her that even if she did not like a gift or received duplicates to be grateful anyway. We did not want her to just go from gift to gift without letting people know she appreciated their effort.
As we look into the future of 2008, we should use some of this wisdom as a community. Things have been good the last few years — and I believe 2008 could be another great year for our area. The real key is a continued effort in community building. Dr. Jesus Chavez and Charles Dupre, superintendents of Round Rock and Pflugerville school districts, are making efforts to reach out to their communities. Mayor Nyle Maxwell in Round Rock is stepping up and investing even more in the Round Rock Community Foundation. Pflugerville’s Mayor Jeff Coleman is telling anyone who will listen that Pflugerville may be “between a Rock and a Weird Place” but the city is not stuck — It is open for business in some big ways.
We have been given a great place to live and work. The more we know and the more we participate in the things around our homes and businesses, the more likely we will have a great year in 2008.
