On
My Mind
There
is No "I" in Team...
As publishers of The
Peters Township Source, it is our pleasure to introduce you
to the premiere issue...a team effort!
 The
Peters Township Source is
a new bi-monthly publication dedicated to the simple proposition
that everything included between the front and back cover is
intended to meet your needs. It represents the combined
talents, energy and experience of a devoted group of trained
professionals in their respective fields, who have worked
relentlessly to create this magazine. We’ve assembled
the finest award-winning writers and editors, designers and
photographers that may be found anywhere in Western
Pennsylvania.
It is worth
mentioning that when we came to choose a cover story for this
first issue, there was a bit of internal squabbling. We all
agreed that we wanted a topic that would show something of the
sense of community that makes Peters Township such a great place
to live.
With such a vibrant
community life, there was plenty to choose from: take the Peters
Township Library, for example. Here you’ll find a cultural hub
offering programs to rival any big city library; meanwhile, over
at the township building, the Parks and Recreation department
delivers an impressive slate of activities, with something to
pique everyone’s interest; and all around town, churches,
groups, and clubs are microcosms of community togetherness.
The discussion of
our premiere cover reached a very intense level, until we
remembered that we were at the cusp of autumn in Western
Pennsylvania – not to cover football would border on heresy.
And on reflection, what would be a better way to celebrate
Peters. A football night at Peters Stadium is about more than
the game on the field – it’s about a large and diverse group
of people finding common cause in cheering their kids, cheering
their home team, and, in essence, cheering their community. In
fact, Friday night football might be one of the places where a
community truly comes together.
Along these same
lines, we expect that each issue of The Peters Township Source
will be able to create a sense of community and give you a
unique look at life in the township. Our focus is on what makes
a community special – the people. From feature stories about
the interesting people of Peters, to the Professional Portfolios
created to offer guidance on subjects of interest, the magazine
is produced for the benefit of its readers. Thus, our goal is
that each bi-monthly magazine entertain, inform, and perhaps
energize you to become more involved.
It’s been an
interesting journey moving this first issue through to
completion, but seeing the end result makes the hard work worth
it. If our pride in this magazine shows through, we offer no
apology. But we’d like to know whether you feel the same way,
that it’s worth your time and effort to see what’s inside.
Feedback from readers is the lifeblood of any magazine. As we
read your letters and emails, we’ll get a clear picture of
what you like and dislike.

that may not always make it into the magazine.
We look forward to
hearing from you.
