From the Heart: May 2018

May is the month we celebrate moms and female caregivers of the universe! Whether you’re an actual mom to someone or just a maternal figure, we celebrate the selfless love and care you give to others. Can you imagine a world without moms No, and who wants to Moms are the glue that holds everything together and the ones who are there with a shoulder to cry on or pull you through the rough spots. So thanks to all you wonderful mothers and motherly women out there who give all year long! One day to honor you is certainly not enough!

The last Monday in May is also Memorial Day. A day set aside to remember and honor the members of military service who have died in the line of duty. Men and women who have defended our country and given us the freedoms we all enjoy. I have a nephew currently serving
in the Marine Corps. and he is currently stationed in Japan. He and his battalion recently received a meritorious mast for completing the infantry jungle skills course in record time. We are so proud of you, Gabe!

Our May issue is packed once again with information on local businesses/organizations, upcoming events and wonderful folks in the community.One such “folk” is Clyde Fitzgerald with Second Harvest Food Bank. We

celebrate his career and many years of service to such a worthy organization and are proud to feature him on the cover this month. For those still looking for camp opportunities…. May is our last edition of Summer Camp Showcase and features

many camps to provide a magical summer for your child(ren).

Please consider joining the Pink Ladies of Forsyth Magazines team for the Komen race on May 5th this year! We hope to have an amazing team and would love for you to join us!

You’ll also most likely see her stocking magazine racks around town. Robin grew up in Clemmons and has called it home all her life. She has a degree from High Point University and after finding herself downsized from her marketing position in corporate America, Robin joined forces with Forsyth Woman publisher and friend, Keela Johnson to launch Forsyth Family.

She and her husband, Tim, have been married for almost 35 years and share two grown daughters, Briana and Morgan, as well as a son-in-laws, Briana’s husband, Jonathan and Morgan’s husband, Deep! She welcomed her first grandchild in May 2023. Being Mimi to Collins is one of her greatest joys in her semi-retirement. Robin and her family are avid music fans and enjoy going to concerts and movies. She loves traveling, watching birds on her many backyard feeders and flower gardening. She is an active member of New Day Community Church and feels closest to God on her daily walks at Tanglewood Park with husband Tim.

Regarding her favorite thing about Forsyth Magazines, Robin said, “It’s hard to narrow it down to one specific thing, but meeting all of the wonderful people I come in contact with and being a small part of local businesses’ success is top of the list!”
