Welcome to the Connection Magazines’ Back to School issue- Warren-Watchung edition. Since it’s inception in 2004, our magazines have continually evolved, keeping our readers engaged and our advertisers visible to the community in which they serve. What hasn’t changed is our professionalism and community minded presence.
Traditional PRINT marketing has managed to sustain all forms of media. As always, PRINT is still credible, displayable, storable and readable. However, with the times-a-changing, we have “upped” our technological game! The Connection Magazines have managed to form the perfect marriage of DIGITAL and PRINT.

ON THE COVER: Local artist, Linda Schwartz, adorns the cover with an acrylic on canvas entitled, “Journey’s End “. She states,
”This painting has a double meaning for me- shoes end up in a box after they have outlived their useful lives. I finished this painting of the iconic Converse All Stars, after a year’s hiatus taking care of my father, who finally passed away from his illness at age 91.” Please read Linda’s bio on page 8.
