Magazine: October 2010 Issue
Happy 4th Anniversary
Published: 28-Sep-2010
Four years ago, the people you see in the photo to the left crossed their fingers and hoped that the North State would embrace the inaugural issue of the magazine that you’re holding right now. We knew we’d poured our heads, hearts and souls into it – but would it catch on in our community?Not only did you embrace it – you have helped it evolve into a publication that has introduced us all to hundreds of inspirational people and taken us to scores of fascinating places. These 48 issues have included stories that have made us laugh, cry, rejoice, think and explore.
We’re always looking to improve Enjoy, as we want to ensure that we remain fresh, relevant and fun. Look for some new features in the coming year, as we consider change to be invigorating and healthy.
One thing, however, will never change. We vow to never lose sight of the fact that this magazine is successful because of you. We thank our advertisers, who continue to invest their hard-earned dollars here. We are indebted to the people who have given us the privilege of taking a glimpse into their lives. We’re thankful to the writers and photographers who craft the stories, and the designers who turn blank pages into art. Each of these people contributes a critical piece to this magazine, and those of us who work behind the scenes to pull it all together deeply appreciate these creative partnerships.
Of course, none of this would be possible if you did not continue to read Enjoy each month. We take it as a vote of confidence that our magazine racks are empty by the end of the month. You are shopping at our advertisers’ stores, and you’re sharing your comments and story ideas with us daily. We create this magazine for you, but we also couldn’t create it without you.
We are humbled, honored and unspeakably proud to be part of this community. Thank you, and happy birthday to all of us. Enjoy!
