Editor’s Note September! Fabulous, Festive, GOLDEN month! September starts with a farewell to summer with cooler nights and whimsical days, and brings a bit of that laid back fall feeling to the WG. It has always been special to me. Maybe because it is the month of my birth, or maybe because it has always felt as the real threshold of the year. It ties in all that has been accomplished with all that needs to be done. It is a very busy month, even with it’s laid back splendor. cee castillo [email protected] Publisher / Editor-in-Chief Editor Brett Dault [email protected] Contributors Audrey Costa Brett Dault A.M.

This issue, however is dedicated to a cause very important to us. The month of September is Childhood and Blood Cancer Aware- ness Month and Winter Garden plans to GO GOLD! starting with a special proclamation at City Hall on Septemer 5th. September is also Suicide Prevention Awareness Month, as the lovely Audrey Costa eloquently explains in her piece. Please, have a read, be aware, and make a difference in someone’s life. The month of my birth is shared by many others in the WG. I would be remiss to not wish all of us a Happy and Prosperous Birthday!
