About Greet

  • I just wanted to share that I believe the [Greet Ripon] magazine has been the one unifying platform every household in Ripon has counted on throughout this tumultuous year. Each month, it's felt like an escape to remember how it used to be, and gives hope for what will be again. I've seen several Facebook posts that express the same sentiment. I'm so grateful for each person who makes it possible for this magazine to go to every mailbox in our town and I make it a point to refer to it whenever I need anything.

  • I've worked with Carrie for the past two years and she has made my life easy when it comes to advertising. She is very polite and professional when putting together my monthly ad for N2. Being creative is imperative when you market your business, and she has been very helpful in this area. Also, she is very responsive. Carrie, in a nutshell, has been a blessing for Austin Meat Service. Thank you, Carrie, for what you do.

  • The Greet Magazine is everything I love about Ripon, community, friends, and neighbors. I can’t wait to find it in my mailbox each month and read it cover to cover. I always come away feeling happy and loving our community even more than I already did. If you didn’t already live here you would want to! We have something special here and Greet Ripon displays it for all to see and enjoy.
