PUBLISHER’S MESSAGE<br />
With our <strong>May</strong> issue, I would like to take the<br />
opportunity to thank the many <strong>Granby</strong><br />
families who have graced the cover of<br />
<strong>Granby</strong> <strong>Living</strong> Magazine these past months.<br />
Our family features have shown the diverse makeup<br />
of the town and the interesting neighbors who make<br />
<strong>Granby</strong> a great place to raise a family. A sincere thanks<br />
to all of our featured families who have graciously<br />
shared their stories with us all.<br />
If you would like to be a featured family, or know of a<br />
family who would be great to profile, please contact me<br />
or our content coordinator, Bruce Deckert bdeckert@<br />
bestversionmedia.com.<br />
This month’s featured family is the McCartneys. A chance meeting at an aunt’s house<br />
has led to 25 years of marriage and the raising of two great kids who really appreciate<br />
growing up in <strong>Granby</strong>.<br />
Also, this month in our Saluting Our First Responders feature, we profile Deputy<br />
Chief Tim Weber, a volunteer firefighter with the Lost Acres Fire Department. Each<br />
month we seek to honor the individual men and women who serve as first responders<br />
in town. Thanks to you all.<br />
Now that the weather is getting warmer, it’s time to get out and enjoy the great<br />
outdoors. Check out <strong>Granby</strong>’s Casual Bikers group in our Events Calendar. They<br />
sponsor wonderful scenic bike rides in surrounding towns and all over Connecticut.<br />
While thinking about getting outdoors, why not take a hike with the family at the<br />
McLean Game Refuge? It’s truly one of <strong>Granby</strong>’s recreational gems.<br />
I’ll close with my familiar encouragement to patronize the advertising sponsors<br />
who make <strong>Granby</strong> <strong>Living</strong> possible. Next time you need a product or service, call one of<br />
our advertisers, and tell them you saw them in <strong>Granby</strong> <strong>Living</strong>.<br />
Enjoy the spring!<br />
Sincerely,<br />
Anthony Serino, Publisher<br />
