Meet the Sisters on the Cover of Community Connect Magazine

In the spring issue of Community Connect magazine, Josie and her younger sister Ruthie grace the cover, celebrating their love for ice cream. The sisters recently participated in a fun photoshoot where they tasted an array of frozen treats, capturing heartwarming moments that resonate with readers. Josie, at 7½ years old, relished the opportunity to be a role model for her 4-year-old sister, Ruthie, who simply enjoyed the ice cream. Their mother, Rose, articulates the deeper message of the photoshoot, emphasizing the importance of nurturing community connections. She believes that getting to know neighbors fosters a supportive environment, making their home in Issaquah Highlands even more special.

Josie beautifully captures the essence of community by linking it to the arrival of spring, with blooming trees and warm sunshine. The article invites readers to discover ways to “melt the freeze” and engage with their neighbors, particularly as summer approaches. Pages 7-10 of the magazine detail a Block Party Toolkit, encouraging community members to break the ice and enhance local relationships.
