Editor’s Note • January 2020

Greetings from 2019! 

As you know, we prepare the Georgetown View a few weeks ahead of time, so I’m writing to you in early December, but I’m still very excited to see what changes 2020 will bring.  Are you reading this in a flying car? 

Right now, I’m most excited about our new feature series that will highlight all the things that make Texas so… Texan. Each month in 2020, we will bring you another quintessential aspect of the Lone Star State that will educate us newbies about our state; i.e., anyone who hasn’t lived here for at least three generations. I also hope to impart a few new things to those of you fortunate enough to be born here. 

To start, we get an inside look at the Texas Rangers, the veritable varsity of our state’s law enforcement division, who have been protecting and serving for nearly 200 years. 

Another addition to this edition is our special Wedding Guide. In keeping with the trend that shows December and January are the biggest months for engagements and wedding planning, we have compiled a helpful mix of vendors and providers of interest to our local readership. You may also find a few tips and tricks too. 

Naturally, it’s also the month of resolutions and plans for the future, so you will find plenty of information, ideas and life hacks for positive change. 

Bringing it all together is one of the best cover stories I’ve had the pleasure of writing. Our FFA & 4-H feature also has something for everyone; agriculture, education, exceptional and special kids, fundraising, and looking to the future of Texas. Not to mention some really adorable guinea pigs. 

Happy New Year!
