Business Focus: In the Beginning

Share

 Creation…when God created the world, He looked at the miraculous things He had done and said, “It is good.” As we look back at the last ten years, we too can say, “It is good.” But we have to give credit where due. The businesses listed here are the heroes. THEY are the ones who have been with us since the beginning–day one. They have never wavered. They have been steadfast. The miraculous thing is that they looked at the blank sheet of paper we handed them with only a few words…words like Pet Pals with spots for ads. They caught our vision and committed to help bring a magazine to our community. As we look back at the beginning, we want to publicly acknowledge how much we appreciate them, and we want our readers to know how important they have been in bringing Postcards to you for the last decade.
