HIGHLIGHTS FROMTHISMONTH

FROM LEANNE: We are excited to announce that Community Impact Newspaper is growing to serve the Lake Highland and Lakewood communities by launching a new paper this April. This is the next step in our mission to bring hyperlocal news to readers in Dallas-Fort Worth and beyond. With this change, you will see new faces here as we work to make sure we have the right resources where we need them. Next month, General Manager Barb Delk will take over leadership for this edition and the new Lake Highlands/ Lakewood paper. I will be general manager for Community Impact Newspaper’s Plano market, which is also my home. The last four years in Richardson have been wonderful, and I am so thankful for the support of our readers, advertisers and community leaders! It is because of you that we are able to continue to grow our mission and launch new papers, hire more journalists and reach more readers every month. LEANNE LIBBY, GENERALMANAGER
