IN Penn Hills Winter 2016 | Page 4

FROM THE PUBLISHER CEO & PUBLISHER Wayne Dollard EDITORIAL DIRECTOR Julie Talerico / [email protected] Welcome to the winter issue of IN Penn Hills magazine. One thing that makes our western Pennsylvania communities special is the beautiful seasons. As autumn comes to a close and snow begins to fall, we hope you take some time to enjoy the many winter activities our area has to offer and hit the slopes, sled ride, cross-country ski or ice skate at one of our beautiful parks. Another thing that makes our region special is a spirit of generosity. And since this is the season of giving, don’t miss our list of volunteer opportunities in your area. Whether you want to lend a hand as an individual—or as a family—there are dozens of organizations that could use your gift of time and/or charity to help those in need. As 2016 comes to a close, we’d like to thank our school and township partners for their continued support. We also thank our loyal advertisers, many of whom have been with us from the start. The staff at IN Community Magazines wishes you and your family a wonderful holiday season and a happy, healthy New Year! Wayne Dollard Publisher SEND US YOUR PHOTOS!
