FROM THE CEO
Welcome to the spring issue of IN Shaler magazine .
As the weather begins to warm up , shed your winter coat and check out “ Swing into Spring ” on page 26 for a list of 30 fun things to do with your family this season .
If high gas prices , travel restrictions and running through airports does not appeal to you , why not explore some new territory a little closer to home ? Don ’ t miss “ Community Gems ” on page 38 for a list of local museums in your own backyard .
Though you might be familiar with some of these museums , we ’ re willing to bet there are a few you may not have heard of . These little treasures explore local history , niche subjects and nature — and many are staffed solely by volunteers who feel passionately about the subject matter they share . Here ’ s to new beginnings !
