FROM THE PUBLISHER

School is here! It is arriving sooner than later each year! School brings back routine after a summer of vacations, holidays, family time, and visiting relatives. Speaking of summer fun, you can view the Fourth of July’s activities on page 22. With all the fun, it often seems that we have to go back to school and work just to rest.

School also brings structure back into our lives. Order is once again established, or so we like to think. The role that school plays in the life of our community is larger and more critical than ever. Around Town magazine’s goal to celebrate our community begins with a focus on our schools and the families they serve. You can find some special views in our Back to School section beginning on page 37.

On the cover this month is Invisible Fence® by Peachtree. The knowledgeable, professional staff of Invisible Fence® by Peachtree has served the local community for over two decades. With friendly pet management consultants and certified installers and dog trainers, Invisible Fence® by Peachtree can provide superior solutions to meet a variety of your needs. You can find their story beginning on page 16.

At times the crazy routine of summer takes our minds off one of our most important priorities, our health. At Around Town our goal is give a voice to a part of your community that spends their lives looking after your best interest. Learn how to eat for purpose and review summertime safety and childhood dental tips, along with so much more in our Health and Wellness Special section.

There is so much in this month’s Around Town’s issue that we wish to share with you about the activities and adventures that your community has to offer. We are confident that the wonderful people who live here and the fantastic business community, ready to provide you with the services and goods that you need, provides for great reading. We hope that you enjoy the magazine and it becomes a point of celebration in your homes each month.

P.S. September is Grandparents Month; don’t forget to have your kids send in their nomination for Around Town Alpharetta/Milton/Windward’s 2008 Grandparents of the Year. See pages 6 and 40 for details.
