Fall 2015 Edition of Inspired Magazine.pdf

LETTER
Letter from the Publisher
Thanks for picking up this copy of Inspired! We are blessed to be able to continue to print this amazing
magazine!
With this Fall Edition, we are moving to a quarterly publication. Distribution is increasing and we are available
at all Indianapolis Public Libraries, YMCA’s, Lincoln Square Pancake Houses and numerous other locations
throughout the area. A complete list of our expanding distribution points can be found at our website on our
home page.
As a newer nonprofit we naturally depend on support from others to do what we do - which is To Inspire Kids.
We are proud of the nine magazines, that we have published and appreciate all the overwhelming support. We
have featured hundreds of Kids, dozens of other nonprofits and schools and we do look forward to continuing to
produce and publish a remarkable magazine. We believe when we publish a Kids work we have direct and often
immediate impact on their self confidence, self esteem and self awareness. Thanks to the Indianapolis Section
of the National Council of Jewish Women for their generous support and all others who see value in what we are
doing. Sponsorships continue to be available for others and we appreciate your interest and support!
You will note our cover now states Kids Speak, versus Express Yourself as we are proud to introduce our second
program, appropriately called Kids Speak! Kids Speak is a new program that will act as a speaker bureau
of sorts for young speakers. Our magazines contain amazing content already and many of these Kids are
passionate about what they are doing and Kids Speak will provide Kids the chance to develop a speech and
presentation on their passions that can be shared with many. We will provide Kids with 4-6 months of guidance,
training, and polishing their speeches and then promote these Kids and their cause by providing them an
audience to share. Our first year we will be working with just a handful of Kids as we develop this program and
naturally we appreciate your support for this as well.
Our Fall Edition is full of wonderful content all created by Kids. Be sure to read the stories of Bryan Thompson,
an accomplished saxophone player in our Music Section and Adrianna a remarkable young lady who has a
great story to tell. Also note Piper Hawkins, a 10 year old first time author from Cincinnati. There are more great
stories in this edition and enjoy them all and share with many. As a reminder, our digital edition is available at our
website.
Please continue to let all the Kids you know that they can share their work be published! Join us as we continue
To Inspire Kids.
