Welcome to the August 2012 issue of <strong>The</strong> <strong>Spectrum</strong> <strong>Magazine</strong>. <strong>The</strong> summer is still heating up our<br />
community, and we know the stories and features we have for you this month will warm you up as well.<br />
Our cover story is on a local group that has been sailing for years and continues to do so. <strong>The</strong><br />
Sea Scouts organization is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year. In contributing writer<br />
Julie McCoy’s story, you will learn that camaraderie is a huge aspect of the program and has<br />
provided many in our community with the opportunity to create lifelong relationships.<br />
A great community event is planned for Saturday, Sept. 9, at Courthouse Square, and <strong>The</strong><br />
<strong>Spectrum</strong> is informing you about all of the “Paint the Town” activities for the day. <strong>The</strong> event will<br />
concentrate on fine art, and our story will tell you all about the <strong>Redwood</strong> City Art Center and<br />
the role they play in our community.<br />
In publisher Steve Penna’s column, “As I Was Saying…,” he discusses the issues of freedom<br />
of speech, censorship and the county wanting more sales tax dollars from us all.<br />
We also bring you our regular features on senior activities, items of community interest,<br />
cultural and entertainment events, insurance tips from Hector Flamenco, information from the<br />
<strong>Redwood</strong> City School District and the popular feature “A Minute With.”<br />
In all communities, businesses are an important component because they create sales tax<br />
revenues that contribute to the overall city budget while providing much-needed services to<br />
the community. In that spirit, we encourage you to support our valuable <strong>Spectrum</strong> advertisers<br />
by using their services when you are out shopping, dining or enjoying yourself in our<br />
community with friends and family. Many of them have special offers for you to cut out and<br />
present, including discounts on services, food and beverages, so please take the time to look<br />
over their ads this month and use their coupons and discounts.<br />
We also want to remind you that when you are looking for up-to-the-minute information about<br />
our community, you can visit us online at www.spectrummagazine.net.<br />
Now get out and enjoy <strong>Redwood</strong> City!<br />
