501 LIFE is hitting the streets with its April “Home and garden” issue.

“While the COVID-19 outbreak has impacted every aspect of life in the 501 and beyond, the 501 LIFE Team is still hard at work on telling the stories and sharing photos that ‘Celebrate Greater Central Arkansas,’” said 501 LIFE Editor Sonja J. Keith.

“We are distributing copies throughout our communities, while maintaining safety precautions, and work has already begun on our next edition and beyond. When weather permits during weekdays, we have an outside rack at the 501 office at 701 Chestnut St. in Downtown Conway for those looking for a copy. We’d also be happy to start a mail subscription for those who would like to have the magazine delivered to their home or business. (Email [email protected].)

“During this difficult and challenging time, we want to recognize and thank our government, healthcare and school officials for their leadership. Also, we are extremely thankful for our public servants for their continued hard work as well as the talented and skilled healthcare workers at the 501’s top-notch medical facilities who are on the front lines.

“We know this is a tough time but we will get through this together!”
