WELCOME MAY <strong>2024</strong> GREATER CINCINNATI Robert J. Slattery PUBLISHER Without going too deep into specifics, I am at an age where others may expect me to be retired. But I’m just not mentally there yet. Yes, I love spending a week or two on the beach in Florida, and I enjoy the occasional round of golf and game of pickleball. But the truth is, I get a great deal of joy and satisfaction from creating and building businesses. While the missions of those businesses seem to vary—publishing, digital media, pet containment products, dog parks, travel, restaurants, entertainment venues, event marketing, brewing and distilling, they all generally fall under a large umbrella—home and leisure. Hence the name of my latest venture, Home & Leisure, a publication that pulls all those threads together and offers consumers valuable information and incredible deals for help around their homes, or ideas for their spare time enjoyment. This issue, our fourth, has a great blend of both. There’s a comprehensive article on decking options which covers the latest in technology and material selection. We have tips and recipes for incredible summer grill outs, and outdoor lighting selections to make your home glow. Plus—my favorite feature—lots of attractive offers that will save you money both around the house and out on the town. I’d love to hear your ideas on other topics you’d like us to cover. You can reach me at publishers@housetrends.com. 8 Home & Leisure Chase your passion, not your pension. —motivational author, Denis Waitley Editor Karen Bradner Creative Director Gina Miller Operations Manager Charles Severe Quality Control Specialist Heather Fox Sales Manager Steve Berger Sales Associates Linda Bacher, Debbie Dattilo, Tammie Flege, Florence Murphy, Robin Rigg, Linda Schutty, Evelyn Yaus Sales Coordinator Susan Quinlan Advertising Information 513-794-4120 advertising@homeleisuremagazine.com Editorial Inquiries publishers@housetrends.com Visit us at: homeleisuremagazine.com Housetrends and Home & Leisure magazines are published by Buzz Publications, LLC 4866 Cooper Rd., Suite 202 <strong>Cincinnati</strong>, OH 45242 © <strong>2024</strong> Buzz Publications, LLC.
