There are some new developments with the Central Florida Lifestyle Publications, below are the following changes.
Starting with the November issue, the magazine will unveil a new and improved look and expanded editorial coverage. The magazine will undergo a redesign and new editorial departments will be added to include more content relevant to your lifestyle – including fashion, home, travel, and dining.
At the same time, the two strongest zoned editions will be merging with new circulation added to each. The Southwest edition will continue to reach Windermere, Dr. Phillips, Metrowest, and Winter Garden, with added distribution in Hunter’s Creek and Celebration.
The Central/East edition will continue to reach Lake Nona, Waterford Lakes, Avalon Park, Winter Park, and Downtown, with expanded distribution to reach Oviedo and Winter Springs. This shift will increase our presence in existing communities and allow us to serve additional affluent areas.

It is hard to believe, but unfortunately true that 172,590 children in our community struggle with hunger. When these kids have no food, we have no choice but to respond. This fall the Winter Park community is breaking new ground in an effort to end hunger in Central Florida.
Feed the Need Winter Park, presented by Mayflower Retirement Community and Winter Park Memorial Hospital, is not your average food drive. It is the first of its kind, community-wide effort to raise funds for Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida.
Don’t miss out this for an early chance to take your little ones out to trick or treat in a family friendly atmosphere on Saturday, October 26; 10 a.m. – 2 p.m.
