April Covers Through the Years
TRENDS AT 50
APRIL 1971
By all accounts , specifically the memo on page one , this issue was the introduction of Apartment News as a monthly magazine with very few graphics ( contained only in ads ) and information about legislative issues like warranty of habitability , zoning , rent strikes and more . It should be noted that Standard Paint ( now Standard Interiors ) advertised a free 6 pack of Coke ( and free balloons and candy for the children ) with each gallon of paint purchased .
APRIL 1992
After a by-the-book eviction became a media nightmare , this issue took a look at the different angles of the issues - including an overview of how to handle media encounters and build constructive relationships with reporters .
Additionally , NAA announced their 1992 Convention in Denver which was chaired by three current AAMD Hall of Famers ( David Phifer , Steve Ira and Carol Levey ).
APRIL 1999
In the late 1990s and 2000s , the April issue of Trends was often dedicated to promoting AAMD ' s biggest event- by featuring sponsors , speakers or committees of the event . This issue featured the 1999 Trade Show featuring Paul Noveshansky , Jack Luscombe , Reed Rice and Mark Windhager among others- surrounded by computers to promote the " Solutions for 2000 " themed show .
APRIL 1987
Carol Levey led an " Out of this World " Trade Show kick off party at Mount Vernon Country Club , where it was promised attendees would be greeted by " Fame " - the alien robot pictured on the cover .
Attendees were encouraged to come in costume as their favorite space creature , and noted that the cover image featured the " same old story - too many women and not enough robots to go around ."
