Around the holidays, parents are quick to find simple gifts for their children to give to their teachers. People of goodwill also remember their letter carriers and trash collectors with tips in appreciation for their faithful service all year long. Many of us make end-of-year gifts to our churches, synagogues and favorite charities. Some even give extra tips to restaurant staff who have served them throughout the year. It’s right to do so— those who serve deserve our thanks. This year, let’s also remember our hometown Sponsors.
Think about the Sponsors of Newtown Square Friends & Neighbors. Imagine one of them saying to me, “This business supports my family, and we’re blessed by the loyalty of our customers.” Then imagine that same business owner asking, “How can I thank our customers? What gift can I give to show how important they are to our success all year long?”
If a Sponsor asked me that, I’d tell them, “Your customers already know you value them. You’ve been giving them a gift all year long—their hometown magazine, Newtown Square Friends & Neighbors—which they love receiving in the mail each month for free, thanks to you.” It’s true. The gift of hometown pride and community connection—our special brand of “social-media-inprint”—is only possible because of the ongoing support of the local businesses you see advertising in these pages. Maybe it’s time we think about giving them a gift in return.
Our Sponsors are on my Christmas list, and I hope you’ll add them to yours.
Pick a few—find their ad in this issue, visit them or call to say,
“Thank you for making our hometown magazine possible.”

So, choose a few Sponsors from the facing page, add them to your holiday shopping list, and shop local this Christmas. Do it with hometown pride, knowing your purchase helps keep Newtown Square Friends & Neighbors in your mailbox (and online at NewtownSquareMag.com) for another year.
