Boom! Magazine Announces Launch Party

Raleigh, NC, March 27, 2006 --(PR.com)-- Greg and Barbara Petty, former publishers of Fifty Plus Lifestyle Magazine of the Triangle have announced the launch of Boom!, a new monthly lifestyle resource for today’s active adult that inspires, motivates, educates and delights readers with a vigorous new image of phase two living. The private launch party will be held on Thursday, March 30 from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. at The Castleton Group, located at 4101 Lake Boone Trail in Raleigh.

“We are excited about this opportunity to provide a new, vibrant publication to the Triangle,” said Petty. “While targeting the same readers as our former publication, we feel that changing the name and the look more closely reflects the new adult mindset. We are stronger, independent, well educated, well read, and well informed. The name Boom! not only makes reference to the Baby Boomer; it also expresses the energy surrounding our daily lives.”
