News Taffy

Our July issue begins with a cover story on Jane McDaniel, a breast cancer survivor who has become one of the state’s leading forces behind the movement to eradicate breast cancer as a life threatening disease. Her list of accomplishments is endless, and as we approach the 2011 Runway to the Cure on July 21, it’s fitting that her smiling face is on the cover of our July issue. Also in the July issue is a feature on the 11 breast cancer survivors who will be walking in the Runway to the Cure. For more on them, head here.

You’ll also want to check out our July issue to find out the winners of our 8th annual Jonesboro Occasions Readers’ Choice Awards. From best overall restaurant to the best spa to best teacher, we’ve got it all. Thank you to everyone who voted, and congratulations to our winners and finalists!

The July issue also features a special section on cosmetic procedures. We talked to all of your favorite local doctors, dentists and orthodontists to give you the latest and greatest information on cosmetic procedures, plastic surgery, adult orthodontics, teeth whitening and more.

Just as our last issue did, our July issue features several Quick Response (QR) codes. Once you download a free app with your smart phone and scan the QR codes throughout the issue, you’ll be able to view additional information such as videos and photos. Let us know what you think of them!

This issue also features: a story on The Community Services Center, a one-stop charitable establishment that helps whoever they can, however they can; a look at Jonesboro’s newest art gallery, Gallery 451, which is located in Downtown Jonesboro; summer makeup tips from MAC Makeup’s Brett Dunning; a look at Local Culture Frozen Yogurt, Jonesboro’s newest dessert destination; a behind-the-scenes look at Tumbledown Shack; and Fab Finds that will have you ready to grill in no time. And you know you can always count on Occasions for our Datebook and our Dining Guide.
