Here we are at the start of another New Year, and its so exciting to be producing the first Different Magazine of 2012.

As the clock chimes and we bid goodbye to the old year, we all wonder what will the New Year bring? It has been another hard year in the world, and of course in the valley we have experienced some good and bad times. Been lucky enough to welcome
several new businesses into the area, but sadly had to say goodbye to some who have been around for a while.

Welcome to all the new businesses, well done for having the determination to try a new venture in this bleak economy, we wish you every success. We are also lucky that through sheer determination the many charities offering help and support are still managing to provide it with your help. If Different magazine can help to publicize your events or business please contact us. We continue to be the only dedicated magazine in Xalo and we will continue to promote the valley as we have for the last four years.

So all that leaves me to say is Happy New Year to you all.
