Our vision at Around Town Publishing is to reflect back to you the amazing life that is happening in your communities. This is only possible with your help. Through your community writers, we receive great community stories packed with good information and character. Through the pictures you send, we see images of life in your neighborhoods. Through the words of your children, we celebrate parents, grandparents and teachers. Through our involvement with Partners in Education, we celebrate the schools that provide the centerpiece of your community. As we celebrate our anniversary, we want to recognize that it is you, the residents of Around Town Alpharetta/Milton/Windward, that makes us successful. Thank you! On our cover this month is Ageless Remedies of Alpharetta. Franchise owners Mary Jo and Mark Renier have a winning formula in the combination of medical skincare treatments and the retails sales of prescriptive products, which provide real results to the Alpharetta community.

You don’t have to travel far to find opportunities to spend a family day together. On pages 28 and 29 we list just a few of the festivals in our area and important Halloween safety tips. Other safety tips can be found on pages 14 and 15 from our fire chief, who reminds us that Fire Prevention Week is October 5-11 and we need to make a safe fire-escape plan for our families. During the past year, Around Town Alpharetta/Milton/Windward has continued to be the most read magazine in your community.
