After a 6-month hiatus, Satellite Magazine will be back online this month, July. We’ll cover events, have regular columns and new editorial content. Check back for frequent updates coming in early July. Just like our old monthly print format, the online content will focus on the Greater Gainesville community. As a supplement to the online issue, Satellite Magazine will print two to three issues a year. More on that as plans become firmer.

As always, Satellite Magazine is a community publication and we welcome contributions from readers. Please contact me at Editor@satellitemag.com to find out more about how you can submit content and become involved.

Cheers,

Denise (Trunk) Krigbaum
