Letter from the Editor Dear Readers, Jonathan Ruffner once told me his children will grow up with lizard skin. That’s because he believes his children have learned many tough lessons at a young age. His family clung together after Ruffner’s father was murdered; the love Ruffner had for his wife and children inspired him to start his own business. His story will rekindle the burning desire for business owners to go after their goals despite the obstacles they face every day. While Ruffner made an investment in his business, Realtor Tina Reese passes along her inside knowledge on how to make solid investments in your home. Her bottom-dollar tips educate readers on what projects to capitalize on—and which to avoid—in order to increase home equity. If you want to invest in employee morale, find out how the Best Places to Work increase employee satisfaction. Check out what the Indiana Regional Medical Center, Sheetz, Inc. and A.D. Marble and Company have done to reduce turnover and create a sense of belonging. To connect with professional, relevant business people, check out the Member Directory in the back of the magazine. Go on. Get connected. Jasmine Grimm Editor-in-chief, Connections 2 | Connections | March 2009 http://www.nxtbookmedia.com http://www.lancasterchamber.com
