Recruiting Kids
How military recruiters get their boot in the door of local high schools
With the school season in swing, parents are busy toting kids to after-school activities, buying last-minute supplies and scrambling to return school forms. In the midst of the back-to-school hype and the mound of necessary documents, it's easy to miss one form, one check mark, one signature – all of which have the capacity to determine how your family is affected by one controversial policy.

Welcome to the Family
The greatest moment in any family is adding another chair to the dinner table. In October, Adams Street Publishing Company is proud to announce the acquisition of Ann Arbor's monthly arts and entertainment magazine, Current.
For more than two decades, Current has been one of Ann Arbor's staple go-to guides for what to do and where to do it. We look forward to a shared synergy with Adams Street Publishing's titles in Toledo and Ann Arbor letting our readers know about important and cutting edge events in both locales. Bridging Lake Erie West by bringing two of the anchors of our region closer together is our charge and our pleasure.
