Deb’s Dialog Editor’s Notes JANUARY 2017 MARKETPLACECONTRACOSTA.COM 7 Happy New Year! I would like to start of this New Year by thanking all of our loyal advertisers and readers. Without our advertisers we wouldn’t be able to mail out our magazine to the businesses and residents of West County for free each month. We, at Marketplace Magazine appreciate each and every one of you. So thank you. We also just finished preparing our Staff New Year’s Resolutions page DEBORAH LUDLOW STEVENS to share with you. We thought it would be something fun to do and perhaps spark a new resolution or two for yourself as well. Better to have a few resolutions to challenge yourself and to make some positive changes or obtain a new goal. Best wishes to you as we start this new year. Deborah Whew! Did 2016 just fly by? I don’t know about you but it sure did for me and my family! Life keeps happening around us. 2017 will surely be an interesting one to say the least. Many changes on the horizon it seems. Let’s hope that it helps small to medium sized businesses and all of us on a personal level. Regardless, I am looking forward to this year. Our writers are very busy gathering JULIA SMITH new pieces of editorial to bring to you this year. We have so many new stories to write about in our community. Inside this issue, we have a wonderful piece about a local Hawaiian slack-key guitarist who will surely make you think you are back on the islands. In addition, an article about how one organization is getting kids out of the classrooms and digging! Here’s to a great 2017! Julia
