Copyright © 2013. 4 glo april 2013 P.S. from the editor our years ago this “Fmonth, the first issue of glo was released. Most of us who help create glo each month have been around since the beginning and we’ve watched the mag- azine take off and find a real- ly nice place within the Fort Wayne community. You guys, it just makes our hearts so full! I love hearing from local ladies on how they’ve embraced glo and look forward to perusing it each month. There are so many wonderful people doing wonderful things in this community, and it’s been an honor to spread the word about them. In this month’s issue, you’ll learn about more than a few wonderful community members as well as the Fort Wayne Derby Girls’ younger siblings, the Derby Brats and the Tootsie Rollers. These groups have done so much to empower girls. In this month’s issue, we will get you to think spring, too: Earth Day fun, urban gardening, vegetarianism, curb appeal for your home and more. Getting involved and promoting local causes like the Fort Wayne Derby Girl’s Bust a Move to benefit Cancer Services, Francine’s Friends Mobile Mammography, Fort Wayne’s Tapestry for IPFW student scholarships, the the Go Red for Women campaign for heart health, among other things, has been so rewarding, too. Four years ago, I stood at the glo Tapestry booth and handed out the very first, brand new issue... and, of course, no one had heard of glo before! This year, we’re one of Tapestry’s major sponsors and have 48 issues under our belts. As part of glo’s support for Tapestry, you’ll find in this month’s issue: lots of event details and exclusive interviews with keynote speaker Sissy Spacek and breakfast speakers, Marci and Neighborhood Health Clinics, Inc. Courtney Crozier from “The Biggest Loser.” Quality, Convenience & Close to Home You’ve also already noticed the cover art this month. It was created by Nena Brown, the winner of our first Tapestry/glo Cover Contest. Family Medical Care Congratulations, Nena, you perfectly captured Tapestry’s (and glo’s) mission of inspiration, renewal and education for women in all stages Women’s Health of life. As I said to the other artists who entered this contest: The tal- ent in the local artist community is simply outstanding! I so wish I Prenatal could make everyone a winner!
