HIGHLIGHTS FROMTHISMONTH

FROMDENISE: For my family, March is when we start to plan out one of my favorite times of the year, summer, for our two boys. It gives our kids an opportunity to explore new adventures, meet new friends and nd things that they love to do, and the best way to test the waters for new activities is summer camps. If you are ready for your children to meet new people and venture in to a new and fun activity, check out our Summer Camp Guide (see Pages 14-17). Denise Seiler, GENERALMANAGER

FROMEDDIE: I’ve always enjoyed the public murals in Georgetown, specically when walking around the downtown area. From the scope and grandeur to the historical aspects and architectural highlights, each mural oers something special to passersby with each one done with care and curation by the city and arts and culture board. As you’ll read in our cover story, I’m looking forward to mural No. 14. Eddie Harbour, EDITOR
