Spooky Season Has Arrived…

October is here, bringing cooler temperatures, festive gatherings and a brand-new issue of Swoon Memorial Magazine filled with everything we love about the season!

This month, we are proud to present our ever popular Men of Memorial feature, highlighting an inspiring group of gentlemen who help make the Memorial community such an exceptional place to live, work and raise a family. Through their professional accomplishments, philanthropic efforts and devotion to their families, these remarkable men demonstrate leadership both at home and throughout our community. We are honored to share their stories with you.

Ready for a fall getaway? Join us for a weekend in New Orleans, where we explore the historic charm and welcoming hospitality of The Natchez Hotel, along with some of the most exciting events happening throughout the Crescent City this October. From music and incredible food to festive celebrations, New Orleans offers the perfect destination for an autumn escape.

There is also still time to support your favorite local businesses in our annual Best of Memorial Readers’ Choice Awards! Voting remains open through November 15, so visit swoonmemorial.com and make your voice heard. Closer to home, October’s calendar is overflowing with fabulous fall luncheons, community events and family-friendly festivals. And, of course, we could not welcome October without celebrating a little spookiness! Inside, you will find Halloween inspiration and festive ideas for you and all your favorite little goblins.

Happy fall, Memorial—and happy reading!
