It’s the mail event of the month.” That’s how one reader described how she feels when the new monthly issue of Newtown Square Friends & Neighbors arrives in her mail. And why not? Most readers tell me they love to see if they know the family on the cover of our latest issue of Newtown Square’s hometown magazine, in print and online at NewtownSquareMag.com.
When friends and relatives of Newtown Square homeowners visit and find our hometown magazine on a countertop or coffee table, it often leads to a call or email request to be added to our magazine mailing list, or to ask how another hometown could begin having a similar magazine to serve up hometown pride. The compliments are great, but those calls and emails always make me wonder if I can do more for a wider community, to be Bringing People Together through our unique brand of social-media-in-print.
Our publishing company, Best Version Media, publishes more than 1,200 hometown magazines similar to our Newtown Square Friends & Neighbors magazine, several serving other nearby communities in Delaware County, including Marple, Springfield, Middletown, Garnet Valley and Chadds Ford.
Our advertising Sponsors also agree that where other advertising tries, we succeed in Bringing People Together. Every community needs products and services to flourish. The presence of local businesses reflects a community’s standard of living, along with the community’s real estate values, which fund public school budgets used to educate local children. Local businesses only remain when local residents use their buying power to buy locally, from local businesses that are recognized as those who give back to the community. That’s where hometown pride intersects with hometown loyalty, awarded to the advertising Sponsors of our magazine.
If you enjoy Newtown Square’s hometown magazine, recognize it as a monthly gift from our trusted advertising Sponsors seen on these pages. Use the gift of this June issue to read about Janet Krevenas, our 2025 Newtown Square Friend & Neighbor of The Year. Consider how fortunate we are to be able to honor one of our own for her many years of hometown service as a longtime resident of our community.
Consider how we are all honored by our advertising Sponsors. By their choice to advertise in our community, they are telling us that Newtown Square is a great place to live and do business in, and how important we are to the success of their business.
