Publisher’s Letter
Constance M. Drew Southern Steel Publisher
F
olks, welcome to our July issue of Southern Steel! We continue to bring you great bikes, body art, eye catching cars, jaw dropping events and beautiful women! We work hard to bring you the latest news on our Facebook and keep you informed of the latest legislation.
In this birthday month of Independence, we are seeing global issues that affect us all. The tragedy in Waco continues to be a crucial issue that above all, treads on our Constitutional Rights. The Confederate flag is under attack. The final outcome in these and many other current issues will set precedence, not just for bikers, but for all Americans. Let’s keep all involved in our thoughts and prayers. Since October of last year, we have worked hard to bring you a quality magazine. We’ve gone through several changes moving towards a fuller, higher quality and more interesting read. We have covered numerous events across several states. We have consistently supported bikers, rat rodders, classic cars, women, disabled, veterans, charities, benefits and non-profits through articles, ad sponsorship, event coverage, donations and sponsorship. We have built an online reach of over 750,000 monthly. It is now time for us to ask you for your support in keeping us moving forward. Beginning this month, the magazine will be available through both online and print subscriptions. It will be distributed across several digital newsstands which reaches hundreds of thousands. We will be determining businesses where we can distribute the paid publication. We graciously ask for your support through advertising, sponsorship and becoming a subscriber to a magazine that is about community and the greater good. Enjoy this month of Independence and let’s be grateful that despite our current challenges, we are blessed to live in the land of the free. Kickstands up and motors revved,
Constance Southern Steel Staff
