Editor’ s Letter
The leaves are changing and Friday night lights are back— which means it’ s finally fall! Bring on the cooler temperatures, bonfires and football.
At the Times-Review, we have been in our new office for a year now. We are adjusting to the smaller space but love visitors so make time to stop by and visit one day.
We also hope you will join us at the fall Senior Expo on Oct. 9 at the Cleburne Conference Center. It’ s so much fun hosting vendors and playing games with the seniors in our community. Thank you Ridgeview Village for sponsoring this amazing event.
MONICA FARAM MANAGING EDITOR
This issue of Community Life magazine features several different things— an author’ s debut book, drive-in theaters, National Park lodges and fishing tips for Cleburne.
The next issue will be our biggest of the year and feature everything holiday-related, from turkey stuffing to Christmas lights. Let us know if you want to be a part of that special holiday issue.
If you know someone who would be a great feature for any of our magazine issues, email me at mfaram @ trcle. com. We’ d love to share their story!
