A LETTER
From the Editor
Issue 3 is here and we have SO much amazing content to share. I am really excited
about the number of submissions we received. In the last 6 weeks we have received
family submissions from local photographers, stories from families and new advertiser
inquiries. We are thrilled to have created a space where our stories can be shared and
celebrated!
Don’t miss QMG’s tips healthy aging on p 16. Lifelong health requires effort, focus and
loving support. On p 10 you can peak into the lives of a local mom and son whose family
members have been cared for by Dr. Scott for generations. I love this piece because it
showcases how close this community is.
We also received a flooding of articles from local foster parents about their experiences
and their struggles. It is inspiring to see what lovingly determined heroes we have
living among us. Don’t miss Anna Whaley’s article on p 32. In it she includes answers
to some FAQs and outlines ways we can all get involved in supporting our fellow
citizens involved with foster care. I hope we are all a bit wiser and kinder after reading.
Be sure to head to qafmagazine.com to see our blog with even more information that
Anna provides.
We have some great family features
this issue and submissions from
photographers showing generations
of families. It is amazing to see so
many people telling their stories,
and sharing their work. If you have
a story tell, or want to feature your
family, visit our website or say “hi”
on Facebook and Instagram. We
are eager to continue the dialog and
spread the love!
