The magazine you are holding is the premiere issue of what has been a vision for nearly two years to provide a relevant and focused magazine for 55 and older adults in Greater Cleveland/Akron.
The tagline for Boomer and Beyond “Your Journey Your Life” reflects on the unique path we all take and empowers us to make the most of life based on individual choice.
The magazine celebrates this region as a positive place to age and thrive. You will find a mix of content within each issue that balances life topics such as health, wellness, legal, financial, insurance, entertainment, recreation, education, technology, travel, events and much more.
Listed on the right is the talented team of folks who put this first issue together. You’ll also find our Editorial Advisory Board consisting of experts from around the region who will help shape the content of Boomer and Beyond.
We envision Boomer as a perfect complement to its sister magazine, Northeast Ohio Parent, who many of you have helped support since its inception in March 2014.
Boomer will come your way six times in 2016 beginning with a January/February issue in mid-January. You will find Boomer at more than 500 locations including fitness centers, libraries, doctor’s offices, as well as Heinen’s, Discount Drug Mart and Marc’s stores.
In this first issue, we are honored to feature Cleveland Marathon founder Jack Staph and two local runners who defy age barriers and serve as great inspiration for us all. See their stories starting on pg. 26.
If you are seeking a true getaway, look for our feature on Gervasi Vineyard, which provides adventure far beyond the wine (pg. 14). While Northeast Ohio is getting colder outside, the region’s theaters are just warming up. Find a show that suits your tastes on pg. 16. Also, look through our diversity of happenings, from entertainment to wellness events, in our calendar section, pg. 42.
This month, it’s a time for reflection. You might consider where you’ve been and, more importantly, where you want to go during this next chapter of your life. In Boomer, we hope to help you remember it is your journey and your life — live it to the fullest.
