BY MICHAEL LANDRAM I am happy to introduce a new magazine for our members: Greater Fort Wayne Vibe. This publication replaces Emphasis Magazine, which had served our membership for the past two years. In fact, the Emphasis nameplate has been used on Chamber newsletters going back at least three decades. Emphasis has served us well, but with our organization’s new name and innovative branding, we thought this would be an excellent time to redesign and repurpose this periodical. Vibe is focused on you, our members, highlighting your milestone moments and keeping you up-to- date on innovations and trends that impact your business. We owe many thanks to Jon Swerens, our Communications Director, and the generous, talented people at One Lucky Guitar. Together, they are largely responsible for launching this redesigned publication. Thanks also to Kristina Johnson for contributing the innovation article, starting on page 12, and to our friends at KPC Media, who publish this periodical and distribute it to its readership. We appreciate all who helped make this magazine a reality. Michael Landram is president and CEO of The Greater If you have thoughts to share, please let us know.

This bold, adaptive reuse of General Electric’s 39-acre, 1.2 million-square-foot campus will be a thoughtful and curated mix of spaces that will once again drive connectivity and innovation.

The smoothest Wof upgrades can often be problematic, but when you’re upgrading 10-year-old soft- ware and thus skipping several generations, well, let’s just say that “stupid” doesn’t nearly cover it. 2016-2017 Season That’s where we are, though, and the fact that you’re reading this is proof that we’ve survived the process (as we write this, however, that outcome is by no means assured). So let’s just brag up this issue and forget the past week ever happened. We begin with Hair, our cover story by Dodie Miller-Gould and the second-ever pro- duction from Three Rivers Music Theatre, the area’s newest professional actors pro- duction company. Given the state of the world today, reviving this 60s musical seems particularly appropriate. And the songs are impossible to shake once they’re lodged in your brain. Highly recommended. Also from the 60s, but a different bag entirely, are The Osmond Brothers, part of the Foellinger’s summer concert series. Michele DeVinney interviewed Brother Jimmy for her piece that appears on page 5. Also featured this week: Secret Mezzanine, a duo Wednesdays | 5-9pm sprung from Canterbury High School and a homemade ukulele.
