A NOTE FROM YOUR PUBLISHERS
Dear Ramsey Residents,
May is a month to honor mothers and the brave people
who gave their lives while serving in the U.S. military.
Flowers are in bloom, temperatures are rising, and the unofficial
start to summer kicks off.
As we celebrate the mothers in our lives, consider a gift
certificate to The Mindful Cafe or give her some much needed ‘she’ time by
sending her to Club Pilates. If you plan to cook a special meal, our recipe
page makes dinner a cinch, especially when shopping at Steve’s Market.
Ramsey honors our fallen heroes in military service with a patriotic parade
down Main Street. If you find yourself at home Memorial Day, come out
and show your support.
Both Mother’s Day and Memorial Day evoke the virtue of gratitude. It is
with heartfelt thanks that I acknowledge how you have embraced Ramsey
Neighbors and excitedly welcomed us into your home.
I look forward to bringing you continuous uplifting community human
interest stories and information about the best local brands and services
to support.
May the 4th Be With You,
Salina McLaughlin
PUBLISHER
Dear Ramsey Residents,
Let me start by saying thank you, Ramsey. I am grateful
beyond measure that our first issue of Ramsey Neighbors
was embraced by you. I am thrilled by the excitement it
generated and invigorated by the forward momentum.
The review I heard over and over that meant the most
to me: you are happy about the positivity we are putting
into the universe. Our goal is to bring people together and highlight what
is good in the community and right in the world. Who doesn’t need more
of that these days?
Speaking of highlighting what is good in our community, meet the Behrmann
family. You think you know all the ways they contribute to our
town? Think again. And what is right in the world? I’d like to introduce
you to Second Lieutenant Sophie-Leigh Baxter-Clark, a graduate of
Ramsey High School, stationed in South Korea. In her own words, she
shares with us why she chose a life of service. Throughout the issue, you’ll
get to meet more of the amazing people who keep Ramsey moving forward
every day. It is their stories that Ramsey Neighbors is eager to share.
Together, we tell the stories of the good being brought into the world that
start here in our community.
May your Mother’s Day and Memorial Days be filled with love
and sunshine!
