"Wouldn't it be great if we lived in a world where positive news was what inundated the media? I was just straightening off our table here at work which has magazines for clients to read--of course, there are quite a few Effingham Magazine editions. My immediate thoughts were that I am so grateful for a publication that emphasizes and focuses on the good of life. Actually I don't ever remember reading even a hint of negativeness. How refreshing and amazing! On those days when life seems be producing more lemons than sweet items, it sure is nice to know that I can pick up any edition of your company's magazines and know for certain that I will be enriched. Thank you for your dedication and perserverance to make our community a wonderful place to reside. Commendations to not only you, but also to your staff! -Kim Riggs"
