Something new for our valley by Trevor Montgomery

Hello Hemet News family! I am preparing to begin a regular recurring column spotlighting our valley's local businesses, things to do for fun, local weekend getaways, day trip ideas, points of interest, local non-profit organizations, local heroes, a photographic and written history of our area and anything else that makes us all smile and remember just how fun and beautiful our little corner of heaven can be and how wonderful the good citizens of this area really are.

I was toying with a few ideas for a name for this new column, something like Spotlight On Our Valley or Our Valley Spotlight but then I thought I might turn it over to our members and ask them for help in coming up with the perfect name that not only represents our two sister cities of Hemet and San Jacinto, but the surrounding areas and communities as well.

The first article coming out will be a feature about one of our local non profit organizations Hope Food and it's CEO and a true hero to the valley,Bambi Garcia. Expect to see that article coming out soon. Also, If any of our members know of any specific ideas for upcoming features you would like to see or any of our local heroes such as teachers, first responders, community service leaders or anyone else who deserves to be featured, make sure to let me know here or in a private message.

If your idea for the name of this new series is picked by the three dashingly handsome but completely goofy judges, identified as Me, Myself and I, (with help from my beautiful wife Robin of course,) you will receive dinner for two at one of our local restaurants!
