Hi! You folks are doing such a wonderful thing for the town, thank you. Reason for my note is: I was reading Mountain Lakes Living, and saw in one of the articles (In April’s issue, I think) a 12-word or so summary of Mountain Lakes. It was succinct and inspirational and I looked for it again but couldn’t find it. Perhaps you folks can figure out what I’m talking about? It was shorter than what’s in the paragraph on the Centennial COmmittee web site – it made reference to the vision of the town’s founding fathers, mentioned good fellowship I think, but there was something really inspiring about it – if you know what I’m talking about, would you email me the phrase? Or perhaps arrange for me to get another copy of the April version of Mtn Lakes Living so I can look for this again? I love Mountain Lakes and that encapsulated why, and I’d like to have the phrase for use for whatever as time goes on. – Cyn
