IN Shaler Spring 2016 | Page 8

FROM THE PUBLISHER CEO & PUBLISHER Wayne Dollard EDITORIAL DIRECTOR Julie Talerico / j.talerico@icmags.com Welcome to the spring issue of IN Shaler magazine. From flowers and trees blooming, to the greening of grass and plants, spring is a season of rebirth — both outdoors and indoors. In this issue, our Home Improvement special section will help you transform your home into a place you never want to leave. From decks and outdoor kitchens to your bathroom, kitchen or home office, we have some great ways to remix, remodel and remake your home sweet home. Spring is the perfect time to visit a local public garden or even join a garden club in your community! Be sure to check out “Gardens Galore” for a few dozen ways to spring into the sweet smells of the season. You can also welcome the warmer weather and shrug off the winter chill with art, music, food and culture. Don’t miss “Celebrate Spring,” our guide to spring events and festivals in your community. Finally, if you have story ideas or suggestions, we’d like to hear from you. Please email us at editors@icmags.com. Happy spring!
