letter publisher 22 JONATHAN ZIZZO O h, what a year it has been: More than 100 PaperCity advertising and nonprofit partnership events; a mon- umental PaperCity Dallas 20th anniversary with two exclusive celebratory events; 11 gorgeous issues filled with top-notch editorial content; and thousands of new readers brought to us via our ever-growing website and social-media platforms, which have both blossomed over the last 12 months. It's safe to say 2018 broke records across the board, both from business and creative perspectives. Per usual, we wind down the social season — and the year — with The Crystal Charity Ball, held at the Hilton Anatole on Saturday, December 1, and chaired by the glamorous, gorgeous, and generous Claire Emanuelson. The Crystal Charity Ball is a most beloved fund-raiser for PaperCity and the Dallas community, raising millions of dollars each year for the city's most deserving children's charities. This year's New Orleans–themed ball should be nothing short of perfection. We also look forward to Tuesday, December 4, as we team with our fashionable friends at Stanley Korshak to host a fabulous holiday party. There will be plenty of cocktails and perhaps a Santa Clause with his Mrs., as well as (most importantly) a toy drive benefitting Dallas Children's Advocacy Center — one of PaperCity's longtime annual partners. From all of us at PaperCity, we hope you have a wonderful holiday season — and that you ring in the New Year with an abundance of love, happiness, and good health.
