As we welcome April and the spring, we are excited to share the Muesing family's story with our neighbors. John, a retired pilot, and Lisa, a realtor, live in the Tuskarora area off Brawley School Road. Their daughter Ashley and her husband, Brian, own Mosquito Shield of Mooresville and are welcoming their first child in May. John, Jr., Tyler, Megan, and Preston round out the family. Read their story in this month's issue.
Our April edition is packed with information on fun places to visit, state festivals and local events to attend, from the Azalea Festival in Wilmington to a trip to Kannapolis. Get our Hometown Hero updates from our veteran reporter Rob Cannon, learn about Eastern Heights from Andy Poore (archivist at the Mooresville Public Library), get schooled on the ACT and SAT, and get updates on the Hurricane Helene clean up from Captain John Johnson of the LKN Marine Commission. Don't forget our furry neighbors on the pet page. Our Lakeside Giving nonprofit spotlight is on Gisele’s World , an organization that creates events for children with autism.
Our community experts help educate on a variety of topics. Martin Conway of Homewatch CareGivers helps us identify instances when you want to consider in-home care for you loved ones, Doug Lampert of Renewal by Andersen of the Carolinas explains the benefits of energy-efficient windows, Harlan Cato of Beltone Hearing Aid Center shares how hearing loss is linked to Alzheimer's Disease, Susan Newsom of Lake Norman Power Sports gives us part 1 of how to go "Day Trippin on Your Sea-Doo," and Janet Martin of Your Personal Best Fitness Studio Mooresville illustrates the effectiveness of data-driven fitness coaching. Our Business Sponsor Spotlight is on Aurora Art & Garden Gallery, a beautiful gallery and garden in Troutman offering original paintings, plants and unique gifts.
Thank you to all of our local business sponsors for helping to celebrate and connect our community each month. We are excited to welcome Affordable Choice Painting, LLC, G. Fuller Photography, and Dan Feyka, CPA, to the Lakeside Living family.
We are putting out the call now to round up amazing students to highlight in our August Back to School issue and always looking to showcase interesting neighbors, our neighborhood pets, your favorite recipes, people and organizations that give back and pay it forward, and positive community stories. Please reach out to Joanie Baker or Jayne Deku with any suggestions! [email protected] and [email protected].
