Some last-minute food shopping is done, and a number of thank-you notes have gone out to supporters and advertisers of East Cobb News.
Another Thanksgiving season has arrived, and this one in particular has me feeling a great amount of gratitude and hopefulness.
This time of year is always a special one, and I want to take some time to thank all of you for your readership of East Cobb News.
As we marked our 6th anniversary in July, we began a fundraising drive asking readers to help support the work East Cobb News does in providing local news and useful community information.
The “6 for 6” campaign will go on through the end of the year, but I wanted to use this occasion to tell you how much your readership and participation with this site mean to me.
I hear from many of you in a variety of ways—e-mail, phone, text message, social media and even good old-fashioned regular mail—for a variety of reasons.
I get story tips and press releases, compliments and complaints, suggestions and queries about how to find something or someone in the community for assistance.
I try my best to answer every message, and while I know I can’t make everybody happy, I want to know what you think about what you see here on East Cobb News. I want to know how I can make it more relevant and helpful to you.
This is a big place with a lot of things going on and with citizens from many walks of life and holding many points of view. Making East Cobb News an online source of what happens here is something I’ve been very honored to develop, and there’s still so much more I want to do.
This community is mine, and I’m gratified by how responsive this community has been to this project.
So thanks. Thanks for reading, subscribing, commenting, getting in touch and donating.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family! May it be a peaceful and enjoyable one. We’ll be coming back on Friday with more news as the holiday season begins.
Until then, enjoy!

Good job on your East Cobb News, Wendy. It’s an admirably up-to-date information source ( not easy!) that’s doggedly dedicated to [what’s local] while also providing a useful forum for community comments and insights. I have no idea how much staff ECN has, but you Madam, appear to never rest! Many thanks for your professionalism and tireless commitment to keeping East Cobb informed.
