Well, "Subscriber" was far too common a word for this great group of people who subscribe to Soleil's To-Dos! As I tried to think of how to best describe my group of subscribers, "professional" came to mind. But I've never really liked that word in terms of what we think of as a positive attribute. (I mean, really - does it mean something other than "I have a white-collar job"? Not really, but we commonly use the word to mean somebody with a "good" job or business, who works in a suit, with a little refinement and maybe a little "out of the box" exposure.) Substantively, however, "sophisticated" better represents the spectrum of my subscription base. But I looked the word up just to be sure! Here are some of my picks from www.Dictionary.com:
Having acquired worldly knowledge or refinement
Lacking natural simplicity or naiveté
Marked by wide-ranging knowledge and appreciation of many parts of the world arising from urban life and wide travel
Intellectually appealing
I seek and publish information about events that appeal to African-Americans with sophisticated appetites. That means that you'll find home-buying seminars and professional conferences, wine-tastings and the occasional beer bash.Whether you're an investment banker or floor buffer, if you recognize that the world is larger than the community you grew up in and you believe that world is yours to experience, savor and participate in - Soleil's To-Dos is for you! If you recognize the value of contributing to the development of your community and you actively engage in doing so - Soleil's To-Dos is for you!
Benefits of subscription include weekly e-mails highlighting To-Dos, changes to To-Dos and special offers, but I will never give your e-mail address to a third party.So, if you haven't already done so, subscribe today - and tell a friend!
