Letter to Our Readers – March 2023

Dear Readers and Residents of Darien,

Penny Glassmeyer with David Genovese at NEAT in 2011, during their earlier days of reimagining downtown Darien.

Thank you for your incredible welcome of the launch issue of DarienMagazineCT.com!

The response to the profile we did of Penny Glassmeyer and her far-reaching impact on our town has been more than we ever could have wished for, but certainly in keeping with the honor we felt in writing about her. Thank you again to the Glassmeyers, Carol Guthrie and David Genovese for helping us to make that happen!

And now, as we look to March, with its Saint Patrick’s Day talk of the Irish, shamrocks and all things green and lucky, we humbly present Karl Levanat, much heralded (for good reason!) director of racquets at the Country Club of Darien. See what you think about luck after reading his
story.

Pretty inspiring, and great information on how to compete well in paddle as so many eyes turn to the sport and the National Tournament occurring this month.

Speaking of green, we hope you’ll enjoy the story behind Greens on the Go in our Good Table feature. If you’re like us, you’ll be tempted to charge right over after reading all on offer there.

Check out Linda Stephens’ column this month on the benefits of anti-inflammatory eating and the charge very well may become a stampede.

Then there’s Theatre 308. What a cool group of engaged students this is and Darien High School Junior Katie Koslow, a member of the crew, has done a superb job capturing them and their current musical production. (Get your tickets now!)

And Lindsay Hurty, wow. Thank you for your insights in this month’s Mind Set column. Lots to ponder there.

This and more awaits you in the pages ahead and we thank the advertisers who are joining us to help bring these great articles your way. A special welcome this month to Ten Twenty Post and Hollow Tree Storage!

Here’s to the luck we’re able to make in the month ahead!
