Now that we are one month into 2013 and despite the fact that we fell of the fiscal cliff, our optimism shines bright in Brazos. There’s so much our community has to look forward to in the coming year, and absolutely! Brazos is so excited to be a part of all that is going on in the West Bend.
Speaking of major happenings, for the first time in 63 years, the City of Richmond has a new mayor. Same last name, same philosophy of service, same vision but a new face. With the passing of Texas icon Mayor Hilmar G. Moore, his wife, Evalyn Wendt Moore, was sworn into office in December. I had the privilege to attend the new Mayor Moore’s swearing in ceremony, as well as interview her during both a difficult and hopeful time, and let me just say, the citizens of Richmond are in good hands. Excellent choice, Commissioners Dostal and Gillen.
February is the month of love, and for us girls, Valentine’s Day is always something we look forward to. To help our gentlemen out and steer them in the right direction, take a look at our Valentine’s Gift Guide on page 26. Some of my personal favorite places are in there – hint, hint!
One of the most exciting happenings in February will be with our sister magazine Fort Bend Focus. This month, Fort Bend Focus celebrates our 100th issue of bringing the people, places and happenings to Fort Bend. It is a major milestone for absolutely! focus media, and now, we begin to work on bringing you 100 issues of absolutely! Brazos. We’ll get there – with your help – and we will celebrate big!
Let us know what you and your neighbors are up to in Brazos, and Happy Valentine’s Day!
absolutely! yours,
Patti Parish-Kaminski
