irst of all I want to welcome Sunday Minnich to our
TODAY team.
Sunday brings a wealth of knowledge about Morgan Hill and advertising
with her as she assumes the role of Executive Advertising Director. We
are excited to have someone of her expertise join us.
Sunday has been a Morgan Hill resident since
1966. She attended local schools and graduated
from Live Oak High School. She has over 25 years
experience in Event and Meeting Planning and
Sales & Marketing. She is an independent con-
tractor for the Morgan Hill Mushroom Mardi Gras
Festival and was an Advertising Executive for Out
& About Magazine for eleven years.
Sunday is married to her high school sweet-
heart and has one son. They live on a ranch in
Prunedale with 2 horses and 3 dogs.
I also want to welcome Amy McElroy to our team.
Amy is a Contributing Writer and Editor at RewireMe.
She’s been published at The Bold Italic, Cosmopolitan,
The Billfold, Noodle, Club Mid, RoleReboot, BlogHer,
elephant journal, and others.
I’m so excited about the Lumination event at Gilroy Gardens. Isn’t it some-
thing? What an amazing opportunity to experience a little of China right here in
our own backyard. Be sure to plan to attend; it’s going to be pretty spectacular.
Our main story, written by our Assistant Editor and Senior Writer, Robin
Shepherd, is “A Place to Call Home,” which addresses the issue of homelessness
in South Santa Clara County. Although a tough topic to address, we felt that it
was one that many people are curious about. I think you will find this article
informative and enlightening. We apologize if we missed any detail as the topic is
quite extensive and many people and community entities are addressing it.
Also in these pages, we have a great article about our local ag businesses, a
welcome to our newest industry UNFI, and a farewell tribute to Dennis Kennedy.
Enjoy!
On a personal note:
Our new and fifth grand baby, Ava EuLe Lee was born in
February. She lives in Littleton, Colorado with her big brother,
Maddox Hunter Lee and her mommy Kristine and daddy,
Oliver. Naturally, I wish they were closer but enjoy my visits.
Colorado is a beautiful state; a little cold for me but a nice
place to raise a family.
In addition to welcoming Ava and saying goodbye to Larry’s
father, the past few months have brought a few other changes.
My daughter, Stephanie Vegh, who lives here in Gilroy, has a
new job and is now the National Group Fitness Director, Plus
One for LinkedIn. Her daughter Lexi just graduated from
preschool. And Larry’s son Peter is the Director of Sales for
Zagster in San Francisco. He recently became engaged to
Colby McKenney, Neurology ICU Nurse at UCSF Medical
Center. They plan to be married in September of 2017.
