Welcome to PressPoints NetNews!

We congratulate ourselves on reaching our first anniversary. Looking back on it, I will agree with the staff that it has been a bumpy road, at times easy for us all to come up with feature stories, at other times downright hard. Those were the times we sweat and grunted out every word and thought. But, all in all, we feel that it has been worth it enough to commit ourselves to PressPoints NetNews for another year.

I can say how pleased we are at the consistency of the e-mail responses to our PressPoints features. The contributions, stories as well as tidbits, opinions, critical as well as commentary, anecdotes, which are both personal and general, all are taken seriously here and they are greatly appreciated. We hope you all stay with us in the coming year and that your numbers grow as we grow.

From the staff, and us, we wish you all and yours a joyous, healthy holiday season and may prosperity as well greet you in the New Year to come.

Marie Villarreal, Chief Editor
