From The Publisher: Jim McCoy

My wife and I retired when I was 57 years old. A month and a half later (February 2019) we bought the Lake Anna Breeze™ newspaper. Why? I just didn’t know what I was going to do with my time.

However, publishing The Breeze™ has been a joy and I think it’s one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. We have met such great people in the community and I want to share our heartfelt appreciation to our sponsors and friends who have supported us over the last five years. Now it’s time to hand over the reins to someone who can keep the paper going and make it even better.

As I was walking through my yard today, I said “Hello” to some of our trees that are named after our family members who are no longer with us (including our four-legged family members). It reminded me that there are many more years behind us than there are in front of us.

With this in mind, we made the decision to sell The Breeze™ earlier this year. It took time to find the right person to take over the publication, but I am confident that we did (see article front page). Now it’s time for Mary Jo and I to spend more time with our grandkids in California and our kids in Seattle. We want to travel to Ireland and Norway (where our ancestors are from) and enjoy the years we have left. And…I really should work on my golf game. It’s tiresome to be the worst golfer at Cutalong.

I am fighting tears as I write this. We’ve had so many loyal readers and contributors. Thank you. The Lake Anna Breeze™ will always be for people who love Lake Anna.

Hi! I’m Jennifer Bailey and I partner with entrepreneurs who have massive ideas that could change the world. Most marketing is meaningless. Filled with empty promises, its only job is to bring in new traffic, new leads, and new customers. But I’ve drawn a line in the sand, and I’ve learned that marketing can do so much more than reach business goals and build profit. My methods give businesses the fire and soul they need to reach the right people, set the groundwork for sustainable relationships, and offer true value to the people on both the giving and receiving ends of marketing.
