DEAR READERS
“I don’t want to live in the kind of world where we don’t watch out for each other. Not just the people who are close to us, but anybody who needs a helping hand. I can’t change the way anyone else thinks, or what they choose to do, but I can do my bit.” - Charles de Lint
This quote rings true for me as the publisher of North State Parent magazine for over 30 years. It sums up why we do what we do. Our editor Stacey and other NSP team members carefully seek out organizations
and resources that offer a helping hand throughout the North State community. You can lend a helping hand by sharing us with others.
We are grateful you are here with us, supporting our free magazine by becoming avid and loyal readers and by advertising in our pages. In that way, we build a community network of good parenting and child-friendly support in this region.
Your child’s best summer starts here! In our Family Resource Guide, we offer a field trip section, a birthday destination guide, a museums and nature sections and many delightful summer camp opportunities. Look for even more summer camp opportunities in our May and June/July magazines.
