Hello 2022

New Year’s Day marks the beginning of 2022! It also serves as a point in time for many of us to start a change in our lives, like losing weight, eating healthier, or reconnecting with long-lost friends. Whether you call it a resolution or simply a goal to be a better you, the first step to making it happen is to write down what you want to accomplish and the steps it will take to get there. By setting a goal and keeping to your plan, you can make your goal or resolution a reality.

Personally, our goal for 2022 is to spend more time with our children. With our two oldest sons now away in college, our nest is becoming emptier. We want to cherish family time as much as we can.

Professionally, our goal is to continue to provide you with the best local news coverage available. Our City Media is proud to be South Florida’s leader in community news. Our team of experienced journalists is committed to bringing you the latest news on what’s happening in your community and your local schools.

Be sure to check out our website www.ourcitymedia.com. Visit now and often to find a digital version with the same types of content found in our print magazines in multi-media format! While you are on the site, check out some of our other magazines. Our City Media has seven magazines serving Broward County, from the beach to the Everglades and everywhere in between.

We truly hope you enjoy reading this magazine as much as we enjoy printing it.

Sincerely,

Christy & Terry Jaillet
