Happy Holidays to all! As we all celebrate the holidays, it is important
to remember what is most important, “Giving." Giving Matters is the
theme for The Holiday Issue. We wanted to celebrate local grassroots
non-profit organizations and the people behind them. Although
philanthropy, donating and volunteering is a 365 day a year mission;
it becomes even more relevant during the holidays. Take a little time
to learn about the organizations we featured and with any hope one of
them will inspire you to get involved in their mission as we enter into
the New Year.
We will be celebrating just a little more going into the New Year. The
District Magazine just completed our first year. We delivered you four
full issues of stories and features celebrating the people, businesses,
and the area communities that we call Districts. The District is not our
magazine; it is everyone’s magazine. We hope you enjoyed being part
of it.

For 2017, The District will be adding a new issue to the lineup. We will
be producing the same four issues with new players and be adding a
5th, Art in Locality. The new issue will be 100% focused on the arts. We
have several new contributors that will be offering their perspective on
everything from fitness to fashion and new partnerships that will make
your experience even better in 2017. Look for new areas the magazine
will start servicing as well.
It has been a ton of fun being part of this movement we call The District.
I am even more excited for next year. Stay Connected and Be Part of
the Movement.
Happy Holidays and have the best New Year ever.
Cheers,
