Each October, TAG Education Collaborative presents an exclusive wine tasting and auction benefiting students pursuing science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) careers in Georgia.
Today, the technology sector contributes 17% of the Georgia’s $117 billion economy. By 2018, Georgia will need to fill 211,000 technology jobs. Help us address this shortfall by directly supporting STEM education and technology careers in our state. By investing in today’s student, you are strengthening our future workforce.
The 2013 Vine Event will be held October 10, 2013.
THE HOLIDAYS ARE UPON US ONCE AGAIN! Every year they seem to fly up,
and no matter how much prep is done, they are here and gone in the blink of an eye.
Time, in my opinion, is one of the greatest gifts a person can give. Whether it is time
spent with friends, family, in solitude, traveling, at home, snuggling pets and kids,
volunteering, or any combination; it is precious. Time spent with family and friends
is my favorite part of the holidays. We cook, laugh, reminisce about old memories,
and at the same time—we make new ones. These moments are cherished, especially now when we live in a society where everything moves at warp speed and
people feel accountable 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
For the December issue, we spent professional time getting to know some fabulous
businesses and people around the Twin Cities. Dr. Sam LaChance of Greenway
Dental has opened the doors to a new outlook on dentistry and talks about how
he plans to serve patients in the Uptown area. We spoke with Schmitt Music, a
company which is soon to be 125 years old, and learned how they are combining
their longstanding expertise in music with new technology. We interviewed Alisa
Halek-Schoenack, owner of Nedia Hair Loss Salon and Spa, whose team has more
than 100 years of experience combined in the hair loss industry. And finally, we
learned that behind the historic walls of the Alfred Pillsbury mansion, lies more than
what meets the eye. Not only does this property reflect a time past, but it bridges
organizations and charities within the community.
This holiday season, I hope you have the opportunity to spend and receive time with
those you are closest to, to smile and share moments together, and to truly focus
undivided attention on the things that matter most.
Wishing you all the happiest of holiday seasons and a safe New Year.

We’re dying to offer advice on where to find those rare items you’ll cherish forever.” A few of our favorite newcomers: Friend, a purveyor of hip casual menswear, and Magpie, where you can score dapper estate jewelry. magazinestreet.com

Adventure In New Orleans
In 1856, six New Orleans businessmen estab-lished
a secret society to celebrate Mardi Gras,
naming themselves The Mistick Krewe of
Comus (Comus after Milton’s play Comus;
“krewe” as a variation of the word “crew”). The
next year, their floats rolled through the streets
for the first time. Since then, more than 60 krewes
have followed suit, but the fun isn’t limited to
Carnival season. Krewe of Boo’s Halloween
parade gets moving on October 30. “Expect world-class
floats, marching bands, and an after-party
with music, drinks, and food,” says Brian Kern,
captain of Krewe of Boo. “We’ve got the Mardi
Gras spirit during Halloween.” kreweofboo.com
