We’re breaking out the champagne and celebrating in style REAL Magazine’s anniversary issue.

Looking back what a year. Launching the magazine and web site. Meeting people and developing new friendships. Overcoming unforeseen challenges. Providing unwavering support of community foundations. Reaching out and helping individuals in need. Fostering fun and social activities. Keeping a positive attitude about the things happening around us.

And last staying true to our mission statement:

Fostering a community of individuals and firms working together for a common objective, furthering each other’s business

That’s the real REAL.

A sincere THANK YOU to everyone that helped get us to this point. Who would have thought a start-up magazine would garner an ADDY award 3 months into publication or find itself with a google embraced web site at 6 months?

Starting with this issue we will alert you to additional content on the REAL web site with our Extended Story icon. Take the time to visit. You won’t be disappointed.

In closing REAL has ambitious plans for next year and so should you.

Happy holidays and a REAL prosperous 2010 to all!
