Dear Readers:

It must be spring…it’s our annual “Women in Tanning” issue. This one’s always fun. We came up with a little different format this year and we think you’ll enjoy reading the mini-profiles. It can’t be denied: women dominate our industry – even my staff! I salute the hardworking ladies who make IST look so great, and all the other dedicated women in the tanning industry who keep it thriving.
Our Company Profile features Eye Pro – a dynamic, all-woman business led by Brenda Fishbaugh, who is a special person and truly dedicated to the tanning industry. It must be fun to be their FedEx guy…
You’ll notice that Brenda’s also been busy writing for IST. She was in Europe for the recent trade events in London and Bologna, Italy – she took a lot of great pictures and put together a couple of nice (exclusive!) stories. Thanks, again, Brenda.
I’ve been hearing rumblings about another “slow/late” start to the season; it seems that’s been the case here in Michigan, too. The best thing we can do for our industry is help each other be successful – my staff and I are always pursuing new ideas and ways to do that with our publication. If you’ve got ideas about how we can make it better, please don’t hesitate to contact me at vince@islandsuntimes.com (or just click “Contact Us” on our website). I welcome your comments and suggestions.

I hope your April ended strong and your May is even stronger!

Thanks for reading.

Sincerely,


Vince Lorraine
