EDITOR’S Note
NOTE
Let us LEAP into this year full of promise. February has always been one of
my favorite months. Not only because of Valentine’s Day, my second favorite
holiday, but because it is a guide for the rest of the ten months that follow.
From the prognosticating Groundhog to the very last day, this short month is
long on History, Celebration, Inclusion and Love.

Love and love of celebrating. Super
Bowl 50. Fat Tuesday. Chinese New
Year, Valentine’s Day and yes, one
Federal holiday: Presidents’ Day. For
those of us who share the faith, there
is the solemnity of Ash Wednesday,
which is also the onset of Lent.
How packed can such a short month
be? This year, February is giving us
all a gift! An extra DAY! Revel in it!
Take advantage of it. Do something
unexpected and spectacular. Hey!
Why not? It is a free day. You just made an extra twenty-four hours! Enjoy!

Meet Our Photographer
I love how much can be expressed in
just a simple photo. Capturing life’s
unexpected and unforgettable moments
is exactly what has given me my
passion for photography. Seeing the
world through a lens is like opening
your eyes to a whole new world.
Picking up a camera and snapping a
picture is what comes natural.
