GRAND Magazine - November/December 2008 - 2
grand view A brave new world we’re going green and we’re going strong! thanks to all of you christine crosby with grandchildren Madeline, Jacob and shantell; and great-granddaughter leah (shantell’s daughter) N 2 GRAND NOVEMBER DECEMBER 2008 hardage Fine arts Photography ow that the election is over, I believe we can all agree with the words of President-elect Barack Obama, “America has a long and steep road ahead.” There is much to be done; and now in a spirit of hope, renewal and unity we will once again prove to the world that, indeed, America is the greatest country on earth. I want to share with you my joy about how GRAND is surviving the worldwide financial and environmental crises. We have elected to go “energy efficient—green— environmentally friendly.” What that means is we will deliver GRAND exclusively in digital format for the foreseeable future. As 21st-century GRANDparents, we welcome you to be here with us at the forefront of this exciting movement. What does this mean to you, dear friends? We will now deliver the same beautiful copy right to your inbox—no trees will be cut down, and no oil, gas or ink will be used. And, more exciting consequences of our change: Beginning in January, GRAND will be monthly! Our editor in chief, Wendy Reid Crisp, has been eager to provide our readers with more GRAND, more often, and now we will be doing just that. If you haven’t signed up yet to receive GRAND right to your inbox, please visit www.grandmagazine.com. For the price of a double latte—or three gallons of gas!—you can have GRAND all year long! We also have exciting news for charities and nonprofit organizations. Our circulation team has created the GRAND Fundraising Program. It’s a great way to raise money for your organization, school, church, synagogue, soccer team, etc., while at the same time providing a resource for families. To learn more just send an e-mail to our GRAND Fundraising Director, Robin Riddell, at fundraising@ grandmagazine.com or call us at 866-327-9039. I hope you enjoy this issue and will forward it to friends and family anywhere in the world for their enjoyment as well. I’d love to hear what you think, so please e-mail me at ccrosby@grandmagazine.com. With my best wishes to you and your family, Christine Crosby Founder/Publisher ccrosby@grandmagazine.com
