2009 has been a tough year for many of us. But in the midst of a stormy economy, we've held our own and have continued to work on terrific projects.  This year, more than ever we want to give thanks to all of you who support us, believe in our mission, and understand that GIS and mapping technologies can profoundly and positively impact the communities we serve.  To all of you who regularly read our newsletter, who send us an email telling us to keep up the good work, or who get excited about our projects and our clients: Thank You.  From all of us at Azavea, have a joyful holiday season and wonderful new year.  Welcome to another edition of the Azavea Journal!
