This year, in March 2014, TheNahant Harbor Review willcelebrate 20-years of service to theNahant community. It was inMarch 1994, that the first“newspaper” was circulated inNahant.

Who could predict the course ofthat fledging community paper, a3-page flyer, stapled at the top, anddelivered in an envelope withflyers from local businesses andindividuals. The community cameforward and provided financialsupport for the little paper backthen and now.

Even though financial cruncheshave cut back on the services weprovide, we will continue to worktowards restoring the “Review” toa tabloid format, including homedelivery from the Review DeliveryCrew.

I want to thank everyone inNahant for their support in the newyear. It is with the continuedfinancial support from adver-tisers, subscribers, friends andsponsors, that the Nahantcommunity news exists. Free pressis never free. It is a preciousprivilege that needs protection,even in the United States.
