For a very long time Ginkgo Biloba has been my favourite phrase. When I say the words, I don’t think of it as a living fossil, the oldest tree on earth, stinky when its fruit and leaves rot, and valued for its purported memory-enhancing properties. All great things, to be sure, but for me I see fun, dancing, music, and laughter! Now you are saying Ginkgo Biloba in your mind, aren’t you? Do you see what I mean? How the words roll off your tongue and sound like a party? Joyful words, suggestive of a really good time! Now add the word Club – Ginkgo Biloba Club :) I took over the Pennywise from founding publisher Patty Axenroth in 2017. When the staff and I decided to start this magazine for retirees and seniors and their families and caregivers, we were excited for the opportunity to create something special to benefit this particular demographic that has, and continues to contribute so much to our communities and culture. Finally a chance to use my favourite phrase presented itself. Ginkgo Biloba Club – this will be a regular feature where the fun stuff, like puzzles, events, social organizations and the Care to Share appear. Along with the fun stuff, we plan to fill it full of pertinent information as well. Our 4 main features are: seniors@pennywiseads.com • 1-800-663-4619 January 2022 BRASS TACKS: Articles from local experts, like lawyers, pharmacists, health practitioners, veterinarians, a cannabis wellness coach, realtors, educators, accountants, etc... All ‘expert’s articles’ will be signed by the writer to make it easy for you to get more information, locally. Have a topic you would like us to cover? Call us – or submit a Just Ask question. GINKGO BILOBA CLUB: Seniors Social Scene. This feature will share events, fun opportunities, puzzles, recipes, the Care to Share page, travel stories and perhaps personals at a later date. SCRATCH THE SURFACE: An off-shoot of the work started by Nelson Cares/Kootenay Seniors. They suggested we keep the practice of interviewing our senior community members. We like this idea. If you know a person whose story should be shared – call us! JUST ASK: This feature will be driven by our readers. If you have a question send it in, we will find the answer. We thank you for sitting down now to read this very first edition, and we look forward to your feedback which will help it grow in the direction most useful to you. ~ Karma Halleran, Publisher Karma Halleran Publisher Larissa Scott Sales Erika Bird Editor Julie Wilson Care to Share/Sales Jeremy Taylor Designer Adam Prisciak Sales Zeb Hansell Webmaster Discover Jan 2022, Sixty-Five Discover - Sixty-Five Want to distribute Want to these submit magazines? for publication?
