Welcome Spring 2015! It is with great pleasure we present this fab- ulous April edition of The Warren- Watchung Connection. We once again have an issue filled with new and returning advertisers, interest- ing editorial columns and dedicated sections to make the magazine more focused and easier to read. This in- stallment we present a fantastic Summer Programs Section filled with many options parents may want to explore to keep the kids busy this summer, Tie The Knot Section featuring lots of options while you plan your event, our Spotlight on “Seniors” Section has some thought provoking articles and advertisers. We also have a great Home Sweet Home Section, filled with exceptional local craftsmen, landscapers and all your needs around the house, Dining Out this issue is packed with eating venues and notable articles and the Health & Wellness Section is brimming with wonder- ful solutions, tips and hints for everything health re- lated. We hope you keep this edition in your homes this spring as a resource for shopping, professional care, dining and more! Each April, we feature a student artist on our front cover and this year is no exception. We are thrilled to present, “Red Rocks” an acrylic on canvas, painted by young artist Jessica Young from Green Brook, NJ. Her inspiration for this piece came from a photo taken in Sedona, Arizona. It was one of the first acrylic paintings Jessica attempted as she has experimented and tried to experience many ways to express her love of art. She is not certain what form of art she will pursue in her fu- ture but is sure it will remain an important part of her life. We wish Jessica much luck and success as she grad- uates high school and moves forward into her next ex- citing phase. Please read her bio on page 8. Featured from our business/professional community this spring are: A&G Italian Fine Foods, Advanced Dermatology, Aldayna Stone Care & Maintenance, All Children’s Theatre, Global Cabinets, Kate!!!De- signs, Natural Green Spa, The Orchard Academy at Camp Harmony, Paul Miller Porsche, Providence! Integrated Health & Fitness, Senior Assistants, Syl- van Learning Center and Watchung Hills Physical Therapy. Our talented writers have given us unique in- sight into these businesses and their respective owners. In addition we are lucky to include wonderful columns throughout the magazine, some written by local business owners and professionals. There are articles about health, fitness, food, real estate, legal advice, gardening, family topics, local community news and much more! Look for our FUN contest in this issue: SPOT THE FAKE!
