Hopefully everyone likes all the changes we have been making to the paper over the past few months.  Our intention is to make the paper the best product it can be for our readers.  We are open to any feedback our readership may have as the paper continues to evolve over the coming months.  One of the biggest improvements in the April issue is the change of the layout to be much more graphical in nature to improve the aesthetics.  Along this line, the April edition was printed on a much higher quality paper stock which was not only heavier, but also much whiter.  We felt this improved the contrast for both the color in the paper and improved the readability of the text.

Wow, what a first month on the job as the new Editor for The Active Seniors newspaper.  I have met lots of great people and learned many new things. I would like to say a big “Thank You” to everyone who helped with the March 2008 edition getting to print on time.

I am writing to inform you of the changes which are occurring here at The Active Senior.   William Gingold, Founder of The Active Senior newspaper more than 18 years ago has decided it is time to transition the paper to new ownership.  Mr. Gingold felt strongly the paper was of extreme value to the senior readers and wanted to guarantee its future success.  For this reason, the paper was sold to DiscoverPlaces.com on February 1st, 2008.
