Dear Readers,
This month we shine a spotlight on the importance of reading, inspired and
spearheaded by our cover story feature resident, Jamie Kabler. According to
a recent study conducted by the Pew Research Center, a noticeable decline
in reading among adults has been occurring, whether paper, electronic or
even audio book, and this trend continues downward every year, Jamie
Kabler founded the Rancho Mirage Writers Festival to encourage everyone to
become involved With reading, expand experiences and stimulate intellectual
conversations.
The Writers Festival will welcome to our world-class library over
85 notable writers and key-note speakers, plus the festival will be accessible
online in the upcoming weeks. Read more about his Story on page 24.
From cover to cover, we have many great reads for you. A few samples are the
Agua Caliente Cultural Plaza announcement on page 10, Desert Theatricals
2023 Broadway Musical Series information on page 12, innovative golf cart
battery technology on page 16, indoor succulent guide on page 20 and, if you
want to come across as witty and smart, Check out the clever jokes on page 34.
Studies have proven that reading reduces stress, curbs anxiety and depression,
and reduces memory loss, so…
Regards and happy reading!
