Letters to Editor
 
 
I just wanted to let you know that I thought the June issue of Around Town Warner Robins was outstanding! We really appreciate y’all featuring some of our articles, as well as Jeff Scruggs from MGTC. His letter was really touching. I was wondering if we might get a few extra copies of this edition? We usually get some to put at our front desk here at the College. Please let me know if that would be possible. We would like to share a few copies with some of our employees who do not live in the mailing area. Thanks!

Thanks for the wonderful article on Made 2B More.  I thank you for featuring the organization and truly hope that we are an asset to the community.  I've had two calls already about volunteering and networking together.  This is just the beginning.  I hope to work with you in the future.  Thanks for a job well done!
 
Phenomenally yours,
Rhonda Mincey
 
 
I just wanted to say a thank you for publishing the image we did.  I love your magazine and look forward to reading it each time I receive the new issue.

Just wanted to say how much I enjoy the Around Town magazine you print.  It gives me an idea of the new faces in town and what "old faces" are doing.
 
Thank you.

Houston county and its cities has needed a magazine like yours for many years. Your report on the past, present, and future of W.R. is great! I think the citizens of the county (and W.R. in particular) feel starved for this type of information. To read of the "revival" of the downtown area is encouraging and points to the forward-leaning vision of what this area can become. I wish you and the staff a successful venture and continued support from the community. Kudos all around!

We want to let you know that Macon State’s Education Program is using the Around Town Warner Robins and Around Town North Macon magazines in their diversity and community building class, and thank you for generously giving us 100+ copies for our project. Students are studying local legacy and leadership, and how those individuals feel about community. The information that the magazine provides is wonderful. In addition to studying the articles, students are using the Around Town magazines as a resource for developing their community information binders that they will keep and use when they go onto teaching their own classes.

Just read your October downtown article (in Around Town North Macon) and I think it’s great; it gives your readers hope for downtown!

I enjoyed reading all your articles in this last issue. I think you did an especially wonderful job on the article you wrote about Joycine's. So glad we were able to meet you, we really enjoyed your personality and hope to get to know you on a more personal level in the future... perhaps on a First Friday. Thank you Again so very much! Stop in to see us soon.

I just wanted to drop you a note and say thank you for mentioning our programs in the most recent issue of the magazine.  The paragraph was well-written.

Thanks so much for coming out and interviewing Ed Gregory, volunteer. We felt much honored to be asked to participate.  I do have another volunteer that is at our Perry Hospital location that would be wonderful for an article in the future.

Due to a story that Around Town North Macon magazine ran on us for the Tory Heard Park, 13 WMAZ came out and did a story on us too. Around Town magazine has a tremendous readership.

Around Town magazines increased monthly distribution to 47,000 copies starting with the March 2009 issue. These are a few responses from the community that we received:

 
Congratulations! Y'all amaze me with the information you put out every month. Great job!

I, personally, enjoy Around Town - Macon and include highlights from your magazine in our weekly bulletin (usually twice a month) and in our monthly mailer.  A number of members in our congregation are mentioned or pictured in your magazine, and I note their picture or accomplishments. Keep up the great work.

Congratulations... I'm so glad to hear that you are increasing distribution. The buzz around the magazine is great, and you're doing a fabulous job!

I am really excited about this too… I always have a ton of people commenting on the articles and information in the magazine.  Thanks for letting me write a column each month!
