Welcome to the April 2010 edition of <strong>The</strong> <strong>Spectrum</strong> <strong>Magazine</strong>. We think we have a great issue<br />
that will keep you reading and reading — no fooling!<br />
This month our cover subject is not a person or business, but a community symbol. Since<br />
1929 the Easter Cross has stood in our community as a symbol of hope, unity and peace.<br />
Contributing writer Nicole Minieri tells about the history of that symbol, how it is maintained<br />
and the group of individuals who are keeping it secure for all to admire.<br />
Publisher Steve Penna is ready to discuss this June’s election, news from the downtown area, the<br />
Miss <strong>Redwood</strong> City pageant and more in his column, “As I Was Saying….”<br />
We also have a story on the newly crowned Miss <strong>Redwood</strong> City and our regular features on<br />
community interest, senior activities, information from the <strong>Redwood</strong> City School District,<br />
parties around town, news briefs, cultural and entertainment events and the popular feature “A<br />
Minute With.” We also have for the second month an insurance advice column from Russ Castle.<br />
We encourage you to support our valuable <strong>Spectrum</strong> advertisers by using their services when<br />
you are out shopping, dining or enjoying yourself in our community with friends and family.<br />
Many of them have special offers for you to cut out and present, including discounts on<br />
services, food and beverages, so please take the time to look over their ads this month and<br />
use their coupons and discounts. When you visit one of them, let them know you appreciate<br />
their support of our local community publication.<br />
We thank our readers for making <strong>The</strong> <strong>Spectrum</strong> our community’s most-read publication. We<br />
invite you to visit our Web site at www.spectrummagazine.net for up-to-the-day information in<br />
our community.<br />
