Editor’s Note
November.
The very mention of the month of November fills me with a mix of anxiety and
anticipation from football, elections, the advent of holiday preparation and yes...
Shopping! It’s black Friday, green Monday, Shop Small weekend.
It is that time of the year again, get out and VOTE! Voting is a privilege and also
a responsibility. Vote as you please, but vote, please. You cannot complain of the
results if you do not go cast your vote.

We are very lucky to also have the opportunity to show our appreciation locally
with our votes. As you walk into one of our local business and eateries – and we
have a few newcomers in the WG – make sure you check in and vote for your
favorites in our Best of Winter Garden Awards!
November 11 th is Veteran’s Day. As an ARMY Veteran, I ask you to reach out and
thank those you know have served, and their families.It can make a big difference
in someone’s day when they feel their service and often sacrifice are appreciated.
As you prepare your shopping lists this year, keep in mind that you can always pick
up a little extra non-perishable food or an additional toy and bring it to our office
and we will make sure it gets to those in need right here in the WG.
Every month I have to think about what I want to say to the WG. What I want to
convey. What message I want to send. I am often asked about adding an editorial
where we can let all of you, WG, express your wants and don’t wants. I’m all for
that. I want each of you, at any time, to feel free to contribute, give us ideas on
what you want to see and we will do our best to deliver.
As we look back at all of the things we are grateful for, we thank all of you for
allowing us to be a part of the WG community. As we look forward to our new
home in the heart of Downtown Winter Garden, we are excited to soon be able to
welcome our readers.
As for what message I want to bring you this month? Simple. I may not be
as present as I’d like or have been in the past, but I am as committed to this
publication as I was at the first print and to working to make it representative of
our amazing community. I love the WG and I want to show that love through
this publication. From and through the efforts of Brett, Taylor, Sam, to the
contributions from Ally, Marion, Audrey and (anyone else specific this month or
contributors at large), this is your Magazine, WG.
Happy November birthdays to LeeAnn, Laurie, Vinny, A.G., Juan, Justin, Wilson,
Tracy, Megan, Caitlyn, Jason, Parker, Shannan, Jeanne, Lisa, Kathy, Rod, Heather,
