In this Issue: Joyful Giving + Boomer Impact Award Winner Tom Hlavin

Welcome to the November/December 2021 issue of Northeast Ohio Boomer & Beyond magazine!

Our theme for this holiday issue is “Joyful Giving” so you’ll find lots of stories about local folks giving of themselves to others, starting with our 2021 Boomer Impact Award winner Tom Hlavin and also featuring the youngest among us (see our NEO Grandparent section, starting on page 19, following “Meals With Meaning” by Chef John Selick).

There’s lots more to enjoy, from a feature on b.a. Sweetie Candy superstore to a profile on sportswriter Terry Pluto, an in-depth look at arthritis, pets as companions, a Medicare guide and so much more.

Print copies of Northeast Ohio Boomer and Beyond can be found for FREE at over 700 locations, including Discount Drug Mart, Giant Eagle, Marc’s stores as well as medical offices, libraries, senior centers, rec centers/fitness facilities, salons and other key locations around town. You can also receive the magazine’s digital newsletter — The Beat — emailed to you for free by signing up here.
