Style Magazine - May 2020 - SPECIAL HYBRID ISSUE—includes Style Savings Guide
Welcome to our May 2020 Special Edition issue. You will notice we look a little different this month, but then everything around us looks different as we all work to get past these challenging times. This month, we focus on dining at home, engaging brain and body activities, local resources as well as our usual, locally focused editorial that you have come to know and expect for nearly 17 years from Style. Thankfully our region has been somewhat spared from the effects of the COVID-19 virus as there have been relatively few cases locally. But, the devastation this pandemic has brought to our economy affects us all. However, it’s important to understand that this is something we can all work together to improve, and we can start TODAY! Consider this: FACT: Every purchase you make from a local business has a direct positive impact on the business health of our community. FACT: Every dollar we spend outside of our community, goes to support everyone but ourselves. The small businesses that employ our friends, family and neighbors are the bedrock of our communities, and they are being terribly damaged. Please, the next time you think about making a purchase online, stop and ask yourself, “Can I buy this locally?“ Chances are you can—and you will likely have it faster, and with it will come a couple of bonuses: a real person saying “THANK YOU,“ and knowing that you just did something to help your community....unless you are concerned that Jeff Bezos, Amazon ’s CEO, is going to need your help paying the mortgage on his new $165 million (yeah, really, $165 million) home in Beverly Hills?!! All of us at Style want to call out and thank all of the heros around us—our police and fire departments, first responders, essential workers, restaurant and grocery store staff, and, of course, the doctors, nurses and the teams at our medical offices and hospitals. These people are doing important work that matters greatly to us all. Please be sure to thank them every chance you get. — Terry & Wendy terry@stylemg.com | wendy@stylemg.com

SUPPORT THE ARTS<br />
During the stay-at-home mandate,<br />
many arts organizations have had<br />
to cancel performances, or worse,<br />
cancel their seasons. The Big Day<br />
of Giving is <strong>May</strong> 7, <strong>2020</strong>—please<br />
consider supporting local arts<br />
organizations:<br />
lobby space, a cafe, and more. The Harris<br />
Center’s facilities are sponsored by local,<br />
national and international partners, like<br />
AT&T, Bank of America, the City of Folsom,<br />
Comcast, Green Oak Consulting Group,<br />
Guild Mortgage, IBS-US, Kikkoman Foods<br />
Foundation, Inc., LPAS, Patrick & Kathleen<br />
Kirklin, Sevy & Neva Cimaroli, The Harry C.<br />
Deborah Elliott Family Foundation, Mercy<br />
Hospital of Folsom, Wells Fargo and many<br />
others. With industry-defining elements<br />
like a high-definition laser projector, LED<br />
stage lighting, and a world-class, six-figure<br />
sound system, the center is equipped to<br />
handle top-tier performances from around<br />
the world. So far, they’ve hosted performers<br />
from 50 countries.<br />
By staff estimates, the Harris Center<br />
serves annually more than 150,000 guests<br />
from the region, nearly double the Folsom<br />
population (though they topped 180,000 for<br />
the 2018-2019 season ). But more impressive<br />
still is the positive economic contribution<br />
Waitress<br />
to the area. Best estimates show that<br />
theater operations create an annual influx<br />
of $10 million into the local economy<br />
and generate approximately $1 million in<br />
additional state and local taxes. The center<br />
has also created hundreds of jobs for fulltime<br />
employees and contractors from the<br />
region and within the arts community.<br />
“Of the over 400 events that take place<br />
at the Center each year, about 50 showcase<br />
the talents of Folsom Lake College students<br />
in theatre, dance and music as part of the<br />
college’s instructional programs,” says Pier.<br />
However, students are also involved in the<br />
day-to-day operations of the center, like<br />
ticketing, concessions, stage operations,<br />
marketing and administrative services,<br />
allowing students across a variety of<br />
disciplines and majors to get real-world<br />
experience. But it’s not just Folsom Lake<br />
College students that can get involved.<br />
The center regularly hosts performances<br />
by the Sacramento Preparatory Music<br />
