Style Magazine Folsom El Dorado Hills: October 2019
Fifteen years ago, we produced our first Readers’ Choice Awards issue, which was the community’s opportunity to vote on who they believe is the best. It is the single most read and referenced issue we produce each year and we owe a very special group of people special thanks for making this issue happen–you, our readers! Thousands of readers cast more than 120,000 votes for local businesses and organizations this year. It’s hard to believe how much this contest has grown and how much it means to the winners and to the readers who source this issue (both in print and online) when making all types of buying decisions every day. We are proud to say that our Readers’ Choice Awards is the largest awards contest of its type in the Sacramento region. What’s most important to our readers is knowing their votes count, we don’t choose winners because they are advertisers. We don’t choose the winners at all. This is truly a contest voted on by the readers alone. We want to take this opportunity to let you know how much we appreciate your readership and support of STYLE. And for all the winners who chose to say “thank you” for voting for them by placing an ad in our special section, well, we very much thank you, too! Congrats to each and every one of you! — All the Best, Terry Carroll & Wendy Sipple Publishers

Reading doesn’t have to be a solitary<br />
experience especially when you<br />
can find book clubs almost<br />
anywhere nowadays. They’re one<br />
of the most popular forms of<br />
adult socialization. And, there are<br />
benefits to joining one. First of all,<br />
it may help push you to finish a<br />
book. It’s easy to find other things<br />
to do but if you know you have<br />
to read a book by a certain date,<br />
being in a book club will help<br />
you focus on reading. Reading<br />
can reduce stress, improve<br />
mental stimulation, and improve<br />
memory. It makes you more<br />
knowledgeable and can improve<br />
vocabulary. Joining a book club<br />
can also help you make friends.<br />
So, where do you find a book club?<br />
You can either start your own with<br />
a group of friends or find one that is<br />
already formed by checking your local<br />
library, local book stores, or searching<br />
online.<br />
