This month, we feature several local citizens whose lives have been touched by the wildly successful Relay For Life in Tift County. We also visit the kitchen of Tift Regional Medical Center chef Tim Underwood, hit the links with local members of a South Georgia Seniors Golf Club, meet downtown business owner Brenda Lever, peek inside the beautiful home of Mike and Carrie Anne Turner, find out more about wood turning with the Little River Wood Turner's Club, get good advice from Dr. Eric Massa and financial expert Brian Atwater and read about the importance of giving back with Editor Chris Beckham.

Readers can see a reflection of themselves in our pages through photos and stories of their friends, family and neighbors.  "Our Town" magazine was created and is published by Editor Chris Beckham and Contributing Editor Render Heard. We live here, work here, raise our children here and are each involved in various civic groups and charitable organizations. In short, this is Our Town and we believe it is a wonderful place to live and raise a family, a place that deserves to be celebrated.

We will publish quarterly and feature items such as:

• Stories about local people and events.
• Local columnists writing about finance, health, legal issues and the outdoors.
• Features on newlyweds and those celebrating anniversaries.
• Spotlights on area students.
• Historical stories highlighting interesting facts about Tifton’s past.
• Home improvement and decorating articles with a spotlight home each month.
• A Community Calendar.
• Local recipes and cooking tips from local chefs.
• Photos from area events, showing lots of local citizens who are enjoying the things Tifton has to offer.

"Our Town" is an attractive, informative and entertaining publication that will provide our readers with information they need to know and help them discover something about Tifton that they did not know before. We invite you to become a part of this exciting magazine, because your town is "Our Town."
