Managerʼs NOTE on the COVER

anticipation as their reputation for cuisine (and margaritas!) proceeds them (P. 20). This summer when extended family comes to visit, I plan to dine there with my mom and sisters, and then head to State Street Jewelers for a “permanent” bracelet session (P. 14). What a beautiful way to connect, remember and celebrate three women I respect, love and learn from daily.

Seeing new businesses take root in our community and the warmth and support we share amongst one another is one of the many reasons I’m proud to call Kane County home. Remember, we love to hear from you! Don’t hesitate to reach out with ideas, businesses and connections you’d like to share with our team.

Thank you for reading!

Jaclyn Cornell, Local Sales Manager
