here should I begin ? I suppose the beginning is always the best place . Seven years ago , my partner in business and in life , Larry , and I decided to publish a magazine for the community of Gilroy . Both of us are long-time residents — like over 40 years — and felt that there was
J . Chris Mickartz
a need for a publication that highlighted everything that was good about the community . Fast forward , to TODAY , and we have published 36 issues of Gilroy Today and can honestly say , Gilroy Today is the most sought after publication in the community . It is anticipated , read , shared and kept .
Over the past few years , we have been asked by some folks in Morgan Hill to publish a similar magazine for the community of Morgan Hill . I must admit , the thought of putting together a second publication was a little scary . But , as we approached our seventh year anniversary of Gilroy Today , we thought what better way to celebrate the success of Gilroy Today , than to launch a quarterly publication for the community of Morgan Hill , Morgan Hill Today .
Of course , we could not have published Morgan Hill Today without the help of some amazing people within the Morgan Hill Community . I especially want to thank my Editorial Advisory Committee : Teri Nelson , Rosy Bergin , Lorraine Welk , Laura Lundy , Marilyn Librers , Sherry Hemingway , Christine Giusiana , John Horner , Laura Perry and Jennifer Tate for all their help . They were instrumental in the identification of the people , places and activities that are covered in this inaugural issue of Morgan Hill Today .
Please know that our commitment is to produce a first-rate magazine filled with all that is good about your community , Morgan Hill . We promise that this publication will be one that the community can be proud of . If you have an idea , or want to see a special person , place or event highlighted , just let us know . Email me at jchris @ morganhilltoday . net anytime or visit the Morgan Hill Today Facebook page .
The morganhilltoday . net webpage will contain all the information found within these pages as well as additional information , photos , advertiser links and bios of writers and contributors . There will also be an electronic version of the current issue , and as time passes , past issues .
For now , we hope you enjoy this inaugural issue of Morgan Hill Today !
