A secure place where we can ask questions, where it’s ok to be unsure of ourselves, and where we can feel valued.” Appreciated BY OUR CLIENTS “Philadelphia Family is raising the bar for publishing in the Greater Philadelphia region.” “I wanted you to know that we got four really good prospects from the Education Expo in the fall. Each family has visited our campus and three are in the application process for this year. Good stuff. You really have a great audience.” “The biggest social network in the area for this audience.” PO Box 99, Wynnewood, PA 19096 | 484-416-0435 | [email protected] | © 2015 by Family Focus MediaTM.
