OakLeaf Plantation Introduces New Community Magazine

June 12th, 2007 — OakLeaf Plantation continues to grow by leaps and bounds as it welcomes new families to the community each day. In fact, nearly 4,000 families have chosen to make their homes at OakLeaf Plantation in only four years. To accommodate this growing population, the community has introduced The Village Journal at OakLeaf Plantation, the ultimate community lifestyle magazine and a unique addition to master-planned communities in the area.

The new magazine, which is replacing the community's newsletter, will be published on a quarterly basis. The Village Journal is an 84-page, full-color, glossy, digest-size magazine. Issues will be direct mailed to all residents, and free issues will also be available at local Publix stores that serve the OakLeaf community.

The Village Journal will serve as a resource for residents to stay updated on community news and events. The magazine will include feature stories on OakLeaf Plantation, a calendar of events, snapshots of people and events around the community and special interest articles. Spotlights on neighborhood business owners will also be featured.

"The Village Journal will spark an exchange of ideas, introduce interesting members of the community, explore new experiences for our residents and inform readers about the events and social happenings in and around OakLeaf Plantation. In addition, The Village Journal will feature local advertisements and special savings for residents and their families," says Deanna Cope, Vice President of Marketing for The Hutson Companies, developer of the OakLeaf Plantation.
