<strong>The</strong> first two months of the year seem to have gone by extremely fast. We hope you<br />
will take some time to read the March 2013 edition of <strong>The</strong> <strong>Spectrum</strong> <strong>Magazine</strong> that<br />
you hold in your hands now.<br />
<strong>Redwood</strong> City is known for many things: Climate Best by Government Test, a<br />
Sequoia High School graduate named “Dolby” and our courthouse having been<br />
filmed in the hit movie Mrs. Doubtfire, among others. This month, contributing writer Julie<br />
McCoy has two feature stories that capture community spirit and youth development and will<br />
give <strong>Redwood</strong> City something else to be known for. Our cover story is on the <strong>Redwood</strong> City<br />
Martial Arts organization and how it is fast becoming a world-class training facility for our<br />
youth.<br />
<strong>The</strong> other profile is on the Sequoia High School Stampede, which is fast becoming one of<br />
the major events in our community. It is not only a healthy and fun activity for both participants<br />
and spectators, but it also raises much-needed funds for the high school athletic programs.<br />
As with all organizations, the <strong>Redwood</strong> City–San Mateo County Chamber of Commerce is<br />
going through some changes. In Publisher Steve Penna’s column, “As I Was Saying…,” he<br />
discusses those changes, his recent award from the organization and his thoughts about<br />
community organizations and the need to recruit new members.<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 />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Spectrum</strong> encourages you, our readers, to support our valuable business advertisers by<br />
using their services when you are out shopping, dining or enjoying yourself in our community<br />
with friends and family. Many of them have special offers for you to cut out and present,<br />
including discounts on services, food and beverages, so please take the time to look over their<br />
ads this month and use their coupons and discounts. <strong>The</strong>y want you to visit them. Businesses<br />
in our community are an important component because they create sales tax revenues that<br />
contribute to our overall city budget while providing much-needed services to all of us.<br />
When you are looking for up-to-the-minute information about our community, visit us online<br />
