FROM THE PUBLISHER
CEO & PUBLISHER Wayne Dollard
Welcome to the winter issue of IN Shaler 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 !
