The Candlelight Ball 2017 spotlights the annual Austin Peay gala honoring the university's most generous supporters — an elegant black-tie tradition that turns philanthropy into celebration.
Fittingly for American Heart Month, the issue takes women's cardiac health seriously. “Heart Attack Signs Women Can't Afford to Ignore” and “Heart Emotions and Heart Disease” address the ways heart attacks present differently in women and the emotional dimensions of cardiac health — potentially life-saving information delivered without alarm.
“Talk About Your Vagina” continues the issue's candid approach to women's health, tackling a subject too often left unspoken, in the frank, service-minded spirit the magazine brings to its health coverage.
On the finance side, the issue confronts money troubles head-on: “Money is the Number One Cause of Divorce” examines the strain finances put on relationships, while “More Than the Minimum” offers a practical guide to paying off credit-card debt.
Together the features balance philanthropy, women's health and financial wellness, giving February real substance beneath its Valentine's theme.
The recurring departments and photo pages round out a February issue that treats matters of the heart in every sense. Between the philanthropy of the Candlelight Ball, the frank women's-health coverage, and the practical financial guidance, the number pairs elegance and substance in a way the shortest month rewards. It is the magazine at its most usefully candid — willing to talk plainly about the heart-attack symptoms women overlook, the money stresses that strain a marriage, and the health topics too often left unspoken — all delivered with the warmth and directness that keep readers coming back to its pages year after year. The Candlelight Ball marks Austin Peay's 33rd annual staging of the tradition, while the finance feature finds a bright spot in the numbers: the divorce rate had fallen to a 40-year low, even as surveys showed how many engaged couples still dreaded talking about money.
