Publisher’s Notes

As 2024 comes to a close, it’s a great time to look back on the year and start setting goals for the next one. In many business and social groups I’m part of, there’s a saying, “Failing to plan is planning to fail.” It’s amazing how those seven little words can mean so much, both in business and in life.

On that note, Spotlight Magazine is gearing up to launch a new, more interactive website in the coming weeks! It’s hard to believe I started Spotlight Magazine nearly 28 years ago. Even now, I still get excited about every new issue—and soon, an even better website to go along with it!

As we head into 2025, I could use your help.  If you know of any local nonprofits or charities who would be interested in getting the word out about who they are and what they do, please let them know that our publication would love to share their stories with our amazing readers.

Spotlight Magazine often offers discounts to fit their budgets, and sometimes we even donate ad space, like the one you see on page 19 for Spotlight Charities & Nonprofits of Brevard. We’re also always looking to promote festivals and events, so feel free to share those with us as well.

I would be remiss if I didn’t take a moment in this month’s Publisher’s Notes to thank all of you for picking up a copy of Spotlight each month. I truly appreciate all of you.

Take Care and Merry Christmas!
