First of all, thank you
Thank you to our readers for your support over the last six months as we adjusted
to the new reality brought on by the coronavirus pandemic. Our paid subscriptions
are actually up over the previous year during the same time, demonstrating that the
demand for our magazine is stronger than ever.
Thank you to our advertisers for continuing with us during these difficult times. While
some advertising categories have been unable to advertise, others such as those related to
home improvement have remained strong. While we suffered a decline in advertising last
spring as the pandemic set in, we are heartened to report that our numbers for this fall are
actually ahead of what they were the same time last year.
Thank you also to our staff who have made many sacrifices over the last months and
have worked extra hard in difficult circumstances to get our magazines out. I’m always
amazed at what our staff members are able to accomplish.
We all endured some bleak days. The Treasure Coast or the country isn’t out of the
woods yet, but at least we are seeing hope for a return to relative normalcy.
We hope this issue will be a welcome distraction from these trying times. You can read
about Indian River State College’s new president’s plans for the future, check out a home
remodel, try out a favorite Treasure Coast pie recipe, or step back in time to read about the
love of John Ashley, whose deeds more than a century ago still rivet the imagination.
When you check back into reality and as you feel safe doing so, we hope you will especially
support local businesses such as ours that are trying to get back to normal. Places
such as restaurants and theaters that have been hit hard by the pandemic are especially in
need of your support.
And speaking of restaurants and bars and the
performing arts, check out our new website,
TreasureCoastWeekend.com and our weekly
e-newsletter updating you on upcoming activities
every weekend.
Have a great fall and we look forward to catching
back up with you over the holidays.
