FROM OUR CONSULTING EDITOR There’s a relaxedness about summer that changes my pace. I work from home year-round, but there’s something about summer, in particular, that’s just different. Maybe it’s the red, white, and blue themes that bring me joy, Memorial Day through Labor Day. Maybe it’s that the plants I potted in the spring have yet to succumb to the scorching August days that lie ahead. It’s the lightening bugs and the smell of neighbors grilling on a Tuesday and the kids still out after dark that remind me of my own summers—on which I reflect fondly. This summer also brings with it great news! Hometown Publishing is thrilled to welcome Barbie Bassett to our team! Barbie is a former television anchor and chief meteorologist and is a successful entrepreneur and public speaker. She knows this market and can leverage her expertise in ways that can grow the business of our advertisers. Hometown Publishing is now in its tenth year of publishing. We publish Hometown Rankin Magazine, Hometown Madison Magazine, Hometown Clinton Magazine, Our Town—39042, and various chamber directories including those for the Rankin County Chamber, the Pearl Chamber of Commerce, and the Flowood Chamber. We now direct-mail over 7,000 copies of of Hometown Madison (of the 10,000 printed) to high-income neighborhoods and deliver a highly-qualified customer through the doors of our advertisers. Barbie’s enthusiasm for life and her easy-going spirit make her a great fit for our publishing family. She has innovative ideas and brings a fresh perspective to the table. We look forward to watching her star continue to rise as she makes her way across the areas in which we serve. And we look forward to many more summers serving the people of Madison and telling their stories. Please help us welcome Barbie to the Hometown family! We’ll be seeing you soon!
