Letter from the Publishers

Inspired.

It’s one word that describes the impulse we feel in the moment when something moves us, the impetus which drives our desire to push harder – to accomplish – to put energy in motion. For some, it’s solving problems. For others, contributing to a mission or building something special that didn’t exist. All these inspired actions serve a higher purpose, and by nature, unleash creativity.

The first time we imagined the existence of Circles – Social Datebook and Charity Register, we were moved to deliver on our best intentions, not simply by our longing to achieve and accomplish, but with the goal of delivering a purpose-filled publication for North Florida. Our motivation was to showcase the power of the collective energy done by the nonprofits in our region, reflecting the infectious goodwill that is taking place every day. We know that by sharing these stories and related information, these good works will permeate throughout our community far beyond the printed page.

Reading our story “From Passion to Fruition” (on page 35), we hope you’ll gain inspiration and a better understanding of how a few ideas got off the ground, filling voids in the community.

Also, in this issue, our entire staff and contributors drew inspiration from the mission of several nonprofits formed in honor of a lost loved one, as told in “Angels Among Us” (on page 10). By choosing to memorialize their loved ones through an organization that supports others, family and friends were provided with a sense of calm, reassurance, and love, as well as the means to carry on.

As The Resident Community News Group rolls out the fourth edition of Circles, we feel in each of its four editions we have only scratched the surface of what’s being done in our city, our region, and in some cases, internationally through missions abroad. Our intention is to deliver stories, create synergy, share ideas, grow campaigns, and broaden awareness about our shared goal to better the experiences of our neighbors in need.

In addition to reading this edition of Circles, we invite you to visit circlescharityregister.com and encourage you to share with us news of the good works done by your nonprofit organizations so we continue to tell your stories throughout the year. By creating a charity clearinghouse online, it is our hope to share the progress of our community with more frequency.

As always, we extend our sincere gratitude to our advertisers for their continued support of all our publishing endeavors, and we encourage you to be inspired to patronize their businesses, which make a difference in the community and help us deliver this impactful publication.

Pamela and Seth Williams
