Welcome to the February edition of The Bridgewater- Somerville Connection! We are delighted to bring you a beautiful issue filled with NEW and returning advertisers, great editorial content and dedicated sections to make the magazine more focused and easier to read. Featured sections include: KID’Z CON- NECTION, HEALTH & WELLNESS, DINING OUT, SHOP SOMERVILLE, HOME & DESIGN, SPOTLIGHT ON SENIORS and our COMMU- NITY CALENDAR. In addition, highlighted from our Business/Professional community are: Lois Allen School of Dance and The Zoo Health Club. Our talented writers have given us unique insight into these businesses and their respective owners. Local artist, Valerie Verona, adorns our front cover with an acrylic mixed media collage on canvas, entitled “La Fenice.” An avid traveler, she states, “This painting was an inspiration from my experiences in Venice, Italy. La Fenice means the opera in Italian ... the layers of colors and materials used in this painting reflect my passion for the rich culture and love of the Ital- ian way of life.” I first met Valerie at the 2017 Mansion in May where she had studio space displaying her beautiful work.
