Becoming Family wants you in their family!

October 25, 2000 - The first issue of Becoming Family, a new quarterly family-style magazine, hits the newsstands on November 1. It's chock full of upbeat stories that families looking for inspiration and support will enjoy.

"Strong families don't just happen," noted Peg Short, the title's editor.

Content should be uplifting and fun, and will incorporate graphically appealing elements also. Some catch phrases that help define what articles should be about are:

• keep up the good work
• family life is worthwhile and has positive aspects
• you are not alone
• here are some everyday heroes
• lets help fortify and celebrate family life in America
