Let us keep our faces to the sunshine and we will not see the shadows. — E.G. Lewis Happy birthday to us! Yep, we are officially 12 months into our ownership of PASO Magazine and we are thrilled about where we are going. With the launch of COLONY Magazine for Atascadero and Santa Margarita, we are proving that print is alive and well, and we love being a part of making a community like ours stronger. For many years — after picking it up as a quote misattributed to Benjamin Franklin — I have kept the motto “Do something worth writing, or write something worth reading.” As a member of our local media, it is a pleasure to live in a community that continues to produce things worth writing about, so we can fulfill our part in writing something worth reading. Thank you all for being a part of this early journey. Now three months into a new life as COLONY Magazine, we could not be more proud of the team and the community that has come together to make it all work! We took over PASO for the October 2017 issue, went glossy in December, made a splash in January with a polar bear dip cover and our inaugural Taste of PASO restaurant issue (watch out for our second annual! It will be even bigger). We added a couple of columnists to give our young parents some ideas about activities and outings with the kids, with Tonya Strickland of Two In Tow and Sarah Pope with Pope X 3. As a member of the community, we’ve partnered with the Chamber of Commerce, Paso Robles Event Center and California Mid-State Fair, and continued to support our Downtown Paso Robles Main Street Association. We also continued our focus on our local nonprofit organizations, including Boys & Girls Club, Committee for Atascadero Public Schools, Colony Days, Printery Foundation, and other events throughout the year. We have a great community to partner with and we look forward to doing that for all our community organizations. My wife and I serve on multiple boards as directors and volunteers and we know how much work goes into providing services to those in need, or producing community-centered events that make our community great. Some might want to Make America Great Again, and that sound wonderful, but around here, we have a long history of working together for a great community, and we just want to do what we can to Keep North SLO County Great … and make it even better. We are moving into our second year with a full head of steam and a few more great things we are excited to release as a service to our community. We are destined to become a community favorite, and appreciate everyone’s encouragement as we introduced COLONY Magazine with the hope to improve the community and present our community to visitors, and the support that our local businesses and advertisers deserve for supporting such a great community asset. Please enjoy this issue of COLONY Magazine.
