I hope you have enjoyed reading them as much as I have enjoyed putting them together for you. I would like to say Thank You to everyone who has been part of the magazines this year for sharing their stories, events or businesses with us. Without you it wouldn’t be possible. Whilst I might be the only official member of staff at Hiya Bucks headquarters I do have a team of people whose support, dedication and enthusiasm for the magazines knows no bounds. Julia, my Graphic Designer, is always on hand, working 7 days a week if need be! Lucy, my Features Writer, gives up her spare time to bring you interesting articles each month. Roy, my husband, deals with all the distribution for me and, of course, the distributors themselves, a massive thank you to them for battling wind, rain, ice (no doubt to come) and grumpy residents aplenty! The feedback I receive from happy recipients of the magazines encourages me to continue doing what I do, during what can be stressful times when running your own business. Please show your support for the local clubs, organisations, charities, groups and independent businesses who are featured in Hiya Bucks. The magazines are all about “bringing communities together” whether that be school communities, business communities, not-for-profit communities, or the actual community, the list is endless. Finally, welcome to the Bucks based Hearing Dogs for Deaf People charity who have a feature in the magazines this month. I am thrilled and very excited to be working with them in 2016. That just leaves me to say I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and whatever you are doing this month, look out for elderly neighbours who might need your help, be good for Father Christmas and stay safe!
