Cozumel 4 You Facebook Group Reaches 10,000 Members
By Laura Wilkinson
I was recently humbled and amazed when the Cozumel 4 You Facebook group hit 10,000 members earlier this week. When I originally started the website, weekly NEWS and the facebook group it was because I was always finding out things after they happened and I wanted to get current up-to-date events and news about Cozumel
Some of you have probably heard about all the new changes I’m working on for Cozumel 4 You. We’re moving to a brand-new website with a totally fresh, new format and, in response to a lot of reader’s suggestions, we’ve convinced several island experts to write regular columns on their area of expertise. We’re opening up space to guest writers, photographers and reader questions as Cozumel 4 You progresses toward a more community based news. Our weekly NEWS will also be moving into a sleeker updated page, and you’ll still find it in your in-box every Thursday, just with a whole bunch more of what our nearly 16,000 subscribers want.
I wanted to take a moment and thank all the members that make up the Cozumel 4 You Facebook group as well, since I personally use it for instant advice and help all the time. As I said before, I created the sandbox, but it’s the people that play in it that really make it happen. Thanks to my staff, Moncia Sauza for her fantastic translations, my webchick Lisa Rae, the C4Y group admins, and all the people that have made me laugh and had a great time these past 4 years. It’s been a great ride so far, but please, buckle up, because the next phase will be epic.
An ex-Connecticut Yankee who has called Cozumel home for over 18 years, Laura ran away to the Caribbean years ago, bumped around the islands teaching SCUBA diving, lost some time in Jamaica, and finally stopped in Cozumel for a 2 week vacation that hasn’t ended yet. With a degree in Journalism from a fancy private college she convinced her parents to pay for, Laura writes, edits, and creates the weeklyCozumel 4 You news,social media, and promotional articles about the island, as well as moderates the Cozumel 4 You Facebook group, which currently has over 25,000 members. Her long suffering husband, Fabian, has long since resigned himself to having zero private life, as he’s been involved in her various schemes and plots since his arrival. Proud parents to a variety of rescue dogs and cats, Laura continues to be the bane of her traditional Mexican mother-in-law’s existence, as she muses her way through life in the Mexican Caribbean.
