Publisher’s Letter 55+ Living Guide Winter/Spring 2014 Publisher & CEO Bill Petersen Notice something new about our cover? In an effort to meet our readers’ & advertisers’ changing needs we have redesigned our logo to ‘55+ Living Guide’. We feel our new logo captures the spirit of our modern day aging population. Let’s face it, no one likes to think of themselves as a senior. Our target market is those over 50, who by 2015 will represent 45% of the U. S. population (AARP). It is all part of our effort to become the areas complete guide and resource to Independent Living, Retirement Living, Continuing Care options and those products and services that make aging safer, healthier and more enjoyable. Along with rolling out our new logo, we have many other exciting changes to share including a new & improved Quick Check Guide, a glossary of housing terms, a new cover… and much more. We also recently launched our website, www.55PlusLivingGuide.com where you can find the information you need right at your fingertips. Please check us out.
