A note from the general manager
Welcome to the all-new “Bella!” We hope our new format finds favor with our readers and we look forward to the exciting new direction we are heading with this publication that has become popular over the past couple of years.
In this issue you will find features about local women making a difference in some way during their walk through life. They all have stories to tell that we can learn from. You will also find helpful tips and hints on finances, beauty, fitness, choosing the right wine — and even what to look for in a purse that doubles as a fashion- able place to house your pistol if you decide to carry. You will even learn why it’s important to change the oil in your car, truck or SUV.
In our next issue we will be looking for more ideas and features to make Bella even better. So, if you have ideas for subject matter or suggestions for women we might need to consider for a feature, get in touch with me by phone or email.
I personally want to thank members of our editorial, advertising, production and photographic staffs who helped make this new format of Bella a reality — thank you all! Readers will find a listing of all staff members on this page.
Please sit back and browse through this new edition, we bet you will find some- thing that strikes a chord with you, something enjoyable and even helpful.
Until next time,
Ronnie Bell
General Manager rbell@eldoradonews.com (870) 862-6611
