NEWH - August 2003 - (Page 8)

from the editor as the lazy summer days slowly pass by… We have time to reflect as we relax by the pool, enjoy a night on the town, or better yet, play a round of golf at a fabulous new club. In this issue, we take you on a journey throughout the world as we explore beautiful golf resorts, country clubs, and nightclubs. Who knew that it could take up to four years to develop a signature golf course or that the invigorating nightlife of old Cuba could exist in Chicago. Also, you will have a chance to meet our editorial staff in this issue: Joanie Neumayer, Nancy Bohnett, Jilliene Cochran, Mary MacDonald and Marilyn Livesay. Joanie is a director with Projects Pacific – a landscape and architecture planning firm that is based in California and specializes in hotels and resorts. Nancy is the sales and marketing director for International Woodwork Corporation – a leader in engineering and fabrication of architectural millwork that is based in Colorado. Jilliene is a project manager at the multi-disciplinary architecture firm Weber+ Thompson that is based in Washington. Mary is the founder and president of the MACCI Design Studio – an interior design firm that is based in Florida and specializes in the hospitality industry. And finally, Marilyn Livesay is an independent designer that specializes in hospitality interiors and is based in Tennessee. Each staff member brings a wealth of ideas and topics to the table and I am very fortunate to work with an excellent team. Many of you have also had a chance to meet the members from our advertising committee who have been diligently working behind the scenes on selling the ads that you see throughout the issue. Lisa Kieffer, the Marketing Director for Jasper Seating Company based in Indiana and Felicia Fisher, president of Vitality Furniture based in California has worked tirelessly to make sure we meet our goals. Where would we be without their incredible selling power? We are always looking for new advertisers and articles and if you would like to be included in our upcoming issue, please contact me. Until then, enjoy our latest issue devoted to Clubs! Lisa A. Haude Editor Paradigm Design Group, LLC Photos courtesy of The Wentz Group, Inc. and Montage Resort & Spa 8
