Advertising Ellen Leinwetter, marketing & sales ellen@vintagekcmag.com
W hen I became publisher of VintageKC almost two years ago, the magazine had an established presence in Kansas City. Visually, in design and layout, it rivaled other local publications in its presentation of photography and editorial content, and continues to do so. The articles were informative and locally sourced. I was brought in by the new owners to make improvements in areas that were lacking, mainly to improve revenues and broaden the visibility of the publication. I think progress has been made yet now is the time to let another assume the publisher’s role. With my fading comes the stepping in of Cheri Nations as the new publisher. Any interruption in the growth of VintageKC will be minimal, and the publication’s pursuit of excellence will continue. Cheri has played an important part in the growth of VKC, having joined us at the end of 2016. She is a talented individual, well deserving of the title and responsibility of publisher. In this issue her influence has already been felt, including the hiring of Ellen Leinwetter as VKC’s new marketing and sales professional. This issue also brings readers the romantic possibility of a vintage barn wedding, a relaxing road trip to sip tea in exquisite surroundings and the thrill of “zipping” through the forest, plus our usual quality offerings from our ongoing columnists. As for me, I’ll be around to help with editing and other duties as requested. But before signing off, I want to thank our advertisers, readers and contributors (past and present) for their support of this magazine. Nobody does this job alone.
