The Ingram's Lifestyle

Welcome to the new Ingram’s Lifestyles feature section, where each month our editorial team will strive to provide you, our valued readers, with informative, entertaining and noteworthy topics about the finer things in life.

Over the years, we have come to know and understand our readership. As a group, they are comprised of the most well-educated and successful professionals in their respective fields. They have a zest for life, both during and beyond business hours. We’ve learned that Ingram’s readers work selflessly and tirelessly through their volunteer, civic, church, and political involvement to make Kansas City a better place to live. They give generously and often to philanthropic causes, which is why our Arts and Culture feature this month will focus on the various levels of museum memberships, and the extremely attractive benefits that befall those charitable donors.

Ingram’s executive readers demand the best in electronic ‘gadgets’ and as a result, state-of-the-art communication devices and amenities such as iPod and iPhone docking stations are becoming standard equipment on almost everything—including on their vehicles. The Luxury Vehicles feature takes a peek at new technology and developments in luxury automobiles that run the gamut from fun to functional, as well as some high-tech toys for your home in Home Living. In our Executive Products feature, we highlight the most unique, quality products and gifts, including upscale executive symbols of achievement. This month Gigi Cowell will begin by exploring the world of high-end, quality timepieces.

Because we understand that Ingram’s readers work hard and play hard, we offer two articles focusing on ways to relax and unwind. Cowell looks at one successful answer to jump-starting your exercise program through the use of personal trainers in Health and Wellness. For those of you who prefer to relax tableside, Chris Becicka will introduce us to Michael Smith’s newest restaurant in the urban core, which is featured as our Wining and Dining article.

We listen closely to our readers and we’ve worked hard to form close relationships with them. We seek their insights about the issues of the day and the trends that affect their industries and the communities in our region. We actively involve them in our many charity and business recognition programs. And because of this, we feel confident that we understand what’s important in your life beyond business hours. So take some time to enjoy the finer things. You deserve it.
