FROM THE GENERAL MANAGER
Events showcase area’s unique character
We also have a guide to help you make plans for the kids this spring and summer. Although 2019 has just started, we are halfway through the school year. One of the fondest memories I have as a child is attending summer camp. Please view our summer camp and spring break guide (see Page 46) to plan activities for your kids. Parents may also want to learn more about the Conroe ISD bond that will affect homeowners in the district. We detail the plan in one of our front-page stories. I look forward to the opportunities that lie ahead to continue producing the best piece of mail you’ll get in your mailbox every month.
I have loved The Woodlands for as long as I can remember. Growing up and being a part of this community for close to 25 years, I understand the uniqueness and issues important to readers here. I am thrilled and humbled to be assum- ing the role as general manager of The Woodlands edition and even more excited to fulfill our mission of building commu- nities of informed citizens and thriving businesses. Among the events we want to tell you about this month, we have a film festival in The Woodlands. This is the third annual Inspire Film Festival to be hosted Valen- tine’s Day weekend (see Page 45).

Community Impact Newspaper , which has 26 papers across Texas and Arizona, relies solely on local advertising for funding. As a privately owned company, our founders, John and Jennifer Garrett, realized the value in local jour- nalism supported by local advertising. Advertising in Community Impact Newspaper not only allows us to produce quality content, but it also allows us to maintain a solid team of seven—a general manager, two account executives, a designer, two reporters and an editor—and provide hyperlocal news for free in The Woodlands. That said, each article we write is independent from our advertisers. Our monthly print edition com- prises 50 percent editorial content and 50 percent advertising. This ratio helps us to balance hyperlocal reporting and news with the support of high-quality advertisements. If you have any questions, email us anytime at wdlfeedback@commmunityimpact.com.

When market turbulence occurs, human nature causes investors to want to take action. Although riding out bad times and staying the course has always proven to be the prudent course of action, investors ability to do so is limited. Ok, since we know it’s hard to act rational during tumultuous times, how then does one control one’s emotions at a time when self- control is vital? Simply put, the investor needs a plan. If you already have mapped out what you are going to do when markets go down and also what you are going to do when markets go up, then at least you have a road map to follow when difficult times arrive. You can’t control what the market does. What you can control is how you react to market volatility. Let us help you prepare for tomorrows uncertainty.
