There is no “I” In Team

So there we were, the staff of this magazine, trying to plan our first issue of The South Fayette Source™. 

We all agreed that the cover story of this debut issue would be crucial. It’s not as though South Fayette hasn’t seen a community magazine before, and the addition of any new publication is bound to raise a few questions at first. But we’re planning to cover the township in a different and exciting way that will instantly make The South Fayette Source™ stand out from the pack, shedding light on the new, putting new twists on the familiar, and telling the stories of the people who make the township what it is.

Those stories are endless. South Fayette is a township with a rich history and a bright future. But the question lingered: what story should make the cover for this first issue?

We debated endlessly. Then we remembered that, well, it’s autumn in Western Pennsylvania. How could we not give the cover to a football game night in South Fayette? What a great way to celebrate the area. A football night at South Fayette’s stadium is about much more than the game on the field – it’s about a large and diverse group of people finding common cause in cheering their kids, their home team, and, in essence, their community. In fact, in these busy days, Friday night football might be one of few places where a community truly can relax and come together.

The magazine that you hold in your hands represents the combined talents, energy, and experience of a devoted group of professionals whom we’ve assembled to provide a fresh look at life in one of this region’s great communities. Our team has logged many hours in their respective fields and received many awards for their work: A Golden Quill Award-Winning Managing Editor, A State champion Journalist, A six-time Keystone Award winning photographer, a CMU graduate in design and EdPress award winner, an acclaimed webmaster!

It’s been an interesting journey seeing this first issue to completion, but seeing the end result makes the hard work worth it. If our pride in this magazine shows through, we offer no apology. But we'd like to know whether you agree, that it's worth your time and effort to see what's inside. Please let us know. Feedback from readers is the lifeblood of any magazine. We look forward to hearing from you.

Have a look at our website, www.thesouthfayettesource.com, to find additional photos and information about the SF area that may not always make it into the magazine.

By the way, we won the game! Please read our cover story that starts on page 38.
