THIKA TOWN TODAY'S NEW YEAR MESSAGE

Fellow Thikarians!

I greet and felicitate with you all as we enter the year 2016 which promises to be a momentous one for our town for several reasons. I also join you all in giving thanks to God Almighty for guiding us through all the challenges of the outgoing year.

It has been a very momentous six months for this team. Through your support, Thika Town Today has been able to keep Thika people informed and updated, thereby making us the real talk of the town. We would not have been able to achieve this much were it not for all those of you who kept us in touch with all what was transpiring around Thika Town and its environs via WhatsApp, SMSes and calls that enabled us get news and updates in real-time.

We cannot also forget all those who inspired us on through messages of encouragement, 'Liking' our page, posts, sharing and commenting on these posts. Then there is this other team of fans who always went out of their way to support our course through the purchase of bundles and other monetary assistance that helped us in the logistics that kept us online 24-7.

Thika Town Today crew salutes you all and thank you so much for your role in keeping our beloved town on the world map. In fact, you are the real voice of Thika. Together, we kept keep Thika updated, informed and enlightened. We are are the proud 237ners.

Well, the new Year is the start of beautiful phase of life and a new beginning of new hopes, aspirations and dreams. It is one of the most popular occasions which is celebrated by everyone. We project a very promising year 2016.

Through your support, we have now acquired the rights to take over a previous publication that kept Thika people updated on the goings on of their town. Starting this January, Thika Town Today will be publishing a monthly magazine (may later turn by-weekly) under the The Thika Times banner where we intend to reach the other section of our populace who aren't online.

We also intend to start an online App that will enable us reach you via SMS through subscription so as we can let each one of our own to be in touch with Thika news wherever they are regardless of their ability to be digital.

I can assure you that this team remains fully committed to the progressive development of our town and eventually our county and its environs. We will still be working with our 'mtaani reporters' and all others who have Thika at heart. You can too become our Eyewitness/Mtaani Reporter by either calling, SMSing or WhatsApping via 0721994807, whenever you witness anything of interest for Thika and environs.

To sum it all, Thika Town Today says that in every thing there must be a season, a time to come and a time to go. It's now time we said goodbye to the year of 2015, the year we clearly demonstrated our spirit and might but very soon will become part of our history. We must all agree that it had been a long and challenging 365 days but through our resilience plus the grace of God, we have been able to see it through.

We pray that the New Year brings us happiness, joy, that unity we crave for and some tangible success forever and ever.
