2012 begins our fourth year of publishing Issaquah+Sammamish magazine, and we’re thrilled about the magazine’s new look and the growing support of our advertisers, which allows us to continue our business model of free distribution to our readers. From the beginning, the whole family has been involved. My wife, Mardi, loves going into the community and finding special items to be included each issue in our Shopping/Style section. And now, after her graduation from Washington State University, our daughter, Makenna, will be assisting with the editorial content. We also rely on contributing writers and other professionals in the community to help us bring informative and local stories to you.
Our area-oriented lifestyle magazine continues to provide relevant, timely and informative content, and we believe the addition of unique targeted events will enhance the community further. One such event is the second annual Education Expo: A Syllabus for Success, which will highlight educational options to help parents guide a child’s learning journey from preschool into college. The event takes place on Thursday, January 19, from 4 to 8 p.m. at Skyline High School. This free event welcomes parents to hear directly from exhibitors and speakers on a variety of subjects and programs. Topics include brain development, special enrichment programs and financial aid. Collecting these organizations in one location makes it easier for parents to research individual programs best for their individual circumstances. We urge you to join us.
It is not a secret that strong schools, both public and private, are an asset to any community. We are proud to work with many fine institutions and bring to light how well they serve this area. We believe our magazine is a content provider and our events are a conduit between the magazine and our readers.
Let’s all make 2012 a healthy and fulfilling year for us individually and as a community. ❖
