Happy Holidays to all of our readers this season! We are delighted to present our festive edition of The War- ren-Watchung Connection filled with new and returning advertisers, won- derful sections and great editorial. Our dedi- cated sections this issue are: Holiday Cheer, Home Sweet Home, Holiday Dining, Health & Wellness, Houses of Worship, “Spotlight” on Seniors and The Community Calendar. We hope these sections help you find local busi- nesses and professionals this holiday season in an efficient and easy way. Please remember to SHOP LOCAL for the Holidays and support your local businesses who work hard to bring us quality goods and services! Highlighted from our business/professional community this issue are: Urban Style Barber Shop, Furs by Guarino, Pool Tables Plus, Fairytales Boutique, Giardino Ristorante & Pizza, LearningRx, Blue Fountain Day Spa, Doctors Express Urgent Care, Lake Vue Acupressure and Spring Academy. Our tal- ented writers and some of the business owners have given us unique insight into these busi- nesses and their respective owners. New Jersey native, Jim Rodgers, adorns our front cover with an oil on panel entitled, “Peaches and Rainier Cherries.” Jim states, “My fascination with the lush colors and tex- tures of this myriad of fruit was the inspiration for this painting.” He is represented by Silver- man Gallery in Bucks County, Pa. with Rhonda Garland as his dealer. You can see more of Jim’s work on his website - jimrodgersfineart.com. Please read his interesting bio on page 8. Look for our FUN contest in this issue: SPOT THE FAKE!
