EDITOR'S NOTE JULY 2009 I don’t know what I would do without the wide open space, the Gulf breeze, the beautiful colors of a sunrise or sunset, and especially the Islanders! I consider myself so lucky to reside on this Island. And yes, I am here by choice. I hope everyone gets to enjoy the things summertime brings like days at the beach, movies on The Strand, boating and fishing, watching the wildlife, taking in a sunset, Ohana’s surf camp, any of our attractions and definitely the delicious places to dine! Next month we will be featuring the Best of Galveston 2009. Readers can vote by mail using the ballot on page 66and through cyber space for their favorites and we will tally the votes to bring you The Best! We will be selecting three winners from all those who participated in the contest. The winners will be featured in next month’s issue too. Be sure to check out our website. New content is featured through out the month that didn’t make it to print. Also, please feel free to contact us with any suggestions you may have to improve our site. Be safe this summer! ~Shannon Hall |
Summertime
on the Island is always my favorite time of the year. The beaches
are full of smiling faces having fun chasing waves, finding shells
or just getting sand between their toes!
I
find it amazing how many people visit Galveston Island to enjoy
what it has to offer. Those of us who live here know how fortunate
we are to enjoy it everyday.
Also
this month we have a look at what is taking shape with one of Galveston’s
newest developments, Diamond Beach. It is promising to be as lavish
as any five-star Caribbean vacation resort vacation… except
that you’d actually be living there. And it’s located
at the Gateway to the Island’s West End. Created by CR - TDG/TW
