I know everyone says the same thing…they can’t believe the year is over. For some it’s a relief, for others it was a good year that they are thankful for. For my family it has been a year of compromises and hard lessons. I have learned that my expectations are sometimes too high or are in the wrong direction and need to be reevaluated.
When it comes to The Windham Eagle, I am
thankful for all of the wonderful people I work with, Melissa Carter, Mary
Emerson, Andrew Worth, Kelly Mank and the others behind the scenes. I am also
thankful for my faithful and talented reporters, especially Elizabeth Richards,
Walter Lunt and Jim Beers, who have been with us all year and have helped so
much. Thank you to all of our contributing columnists and each and every one of
you who took the time to write a letter to the editor or to tell us about your
positive and exciting news throughout the year.
The Windham Eagle will continue to provide
Windham and Raymond with positive and solutions-based news into 2016 and
beyond. We love to hear your feedback and positive comments when we are out and
about in the community. I think this is some of what makes The Windham Eagle so
special is that we live in the communities we cover. We bump into our readers
at Hannaford, at special events and at sporting competitions.
One thing I love about New Years is the
acceptance of change. Each year we try to make sure the paper has an updated
look and that we are making stories easy to read and visually pleasant to look
at. If you have suggestions on things we should cover that we aren’t, please
let us know. We want to be your newspaper of choice.
This year in review issue has been fun to put
together. It’s been a year of ups and downs. We’ve seen an amazing outpouring
of support for community members, some very young people who are now on the
mend. We have also celebrated with some amazing people who are contributing
members of our communities.
No one knows what 2016 will bring, but we at
The Windham Eagle look forward to the challenges and excitement.
Happy New Year!
Michelle
