General Manager’s Note — December 2007

Attention: open in a new window.

Written by Karin Shaver Friday, 07 December 2007

I love this time of year when we take inventory of things for which we are thankful. At the top of my list are family and friends.

My grandparents recently moved back to the area for the winter. My “Mahgee” is 87 years old and still makes an amazing Thanksgiving dinner, complete with homemade pies. I also enjoyed the dance moves and story telling of my 2-year-old niece over the holiday. After spending the past few Thanksgivings living in Fort Worth, Atlanta and Nashville, it is good to be home.

Quality of life in Williamson County is something most people here are thankful for, and this month, we are highlighting some of the reasons. Georgetown’s downtown square and Main Street program have made an incredible impact on the city. Hutto has a very different downtown makeup, but certainly has an amazing draw, making it the fastest-growing city in the state. And Taylor has recently been named the site for the East Williamson County Higher Education Center.

Our coverage areas are represented in Washington, D.C., by U.S. Congressmen John Carter and Michael McCaul. Our publisher, editor and an assistant editor recently had an incredible opportunity to spend a day in the life of these U.S. Congressmen. We always strive to bring you local, useful information that you cannot find anywhere else, and I believe this feature is especially unique. Many residents do not even know who their Congressmen are, so our goal is to help you know them and better understand how their time is spent representing us.

I hope you enjoy this holiday season with those who are important to you. I am looking forward to a new year filled with exciting developments in Georgetown, Hutto and Taylor. Thank you for allowing us to be a part of it.

Merry Christmas and happy holidays!
