DEAR FRIENDS AND BUSINESS PARTNERS

We are proud to introduce you to our new publication, TOWN&style, a paper that is truly local and run by people you know and trust. Town&Style is the 'talk of our town' and quickly becoming a favorite with readers across St. Louis. We deliver the kind of content we know our readers want: the basics on who is doing what in our community. In addition to extensively covering town news, parties, charitable events, weddings and engagements, we focus on movers and shakers,school news and items of interest from the communities we serve all along the central corridor of St. Louis. Lifestyle content is centered on home, fashion, dining, beauty and health—and bringing affluent St. Louisans the very best information on what’s new and what they ‘need to know.’ Our focus is on hyper-local news, and that means covering the people and businesses that make up the fabric of our community—from grade schoolers to local entrepreneurs to active seniors--on every page of the paper.

While we both have been in the business of creating and delivering high quality publications to the affluent market for 35 years combined at Ladue News, our dedicated team of journalists, advertising representatives and creative artists has likewise served this market for many years. You will recognize the seasoned team of veterans and well-known names in the community: Margaret Rambo (Society Coverage), Suzy Bacino (Style Editor), Dr. Tim Jordan (Parent Trap column); Charlie Brennan (Charlie's Town), Paul Doerner Principal of Lawrence Group
(HomeWork), Tony DiMartino (Senior Editor), Charlie Barnes (Photographer and Society Coverage), Mary Jo Blackwood (Health Editor), Wendy Krems (Senior Advertising Exec), Wendy Cooper Jablonow (Senior Advertising Exec), Jennifer Sass Lyons (Advertising Exec), Paula Russell (Advertising Exec), Tracy Gillespie (Advertising Exec) and Julie Streiler (Art Director). TOWN&style is distributed by mail to 25,000 homes in the best neighborhoods along the central corridor of St. Louis. In addition, St. Louisans can choose from more than 400 locations to pick up the paper, including area grocers. TOWN&style is already a ‘must read’ among our targeted demographic audience.

We are proud to bring you a paper founded, operated and created by hometowners. We care deeply about this community and making sure our nonprofits, businesses, families and friends succeed. That is the message you will see on every page of TOWN&style.
Sincerely,

Lauren Bry Rechan        Dorothy F. Weiner
