Wasabi Media Group Gives Graduating Senior Scholarship for Fourth Birthday

Tuesday, August 7th, 2012

Manchester, NH—Wasabi Media Group (WMG), and internet-based publishing company, celebrated its fourth birthday this year by presenting a $500 scholarship to a graduating senior. The scholarship was given to a student in Litchfield, NH at Campbell High School’s Senior Award Night on June 6th.

To qualify for the scholarship, the senior needed to be in the top 20 percent of his or her class and complete a 500-word essay answering the question: “It is the year 2026; what major accomplishments have you achieved since college graduation?” Once the essays were read, three members of the editorial team at Wasabi Media Group reviewed and scored the essays, combined scores, and chose a winner. Wasabi Media group will continue to present scholarships to graduating seniors on the company’s birthday as an annual event.

Michele Pesula Kuegler, the editor-in-chief of Wasabi Media Group and resident of Litchfield, stated, “As the founder of Wasabi Media Group, I find each birthday of the company to be an exciting occasion. Rather than keeping the celebration an internal event, I like to be able to share it with others.”
Wasabi Media Group has given out other scholarships in the past; last year the company ran a social media contest to determine which charity would receive WMG’s birthday donation. The charities in the running were Share Our Strength, ShelterBox, Reading Tree, and the Cancer Research Institute. The winner of the donations was ShelterBox, a company focused on disaster relief and aiding those who are affected by natural disasters.

Wasabi Media Group’s birthday donations and scholarships have been very successful in the past. The company plans to continue the tradition of giving back on its birthday every year.

August Highlights

Monday, August 6th, 2012

Where does the summer go?  Depending on where you live, your summer vacation may have ended yesterday.  For those of us in New England, most of the schools don’t return to regular sessions for three or four weeks, but still it feels like summer is flying by.  Sure, the weeks have been filled with fun for the kids:  family vacations; sleepovers with friends; trips to the mall, theme park, and movies; late nights goofing around followed by sleeping late the next day.

For those of us who don’t get the benefit of having the summer off, there still is a different feel to the work schedule.  Every week there are colleagues and business partners who are on vacation.  Scheduling a meeting can be tricky, but on a Friday afternoon it is almost impossible.  Although most people would deny it, it seems that a majority of the working world skips out of the office quietly at lunchtime on Friday.

Of course, there still is work to be done.  For those of us at WMG, articles need to be edited and scheduled.  New designs need to be created.  New features need to be developed.

As we enjoy the last full month of summer, we look to two of our publications to see what is new and exciting:

  • Go Shopping Info has once again narrowed its focus.  We replaced our biweekly columns on fashion for children with more columns on fashion for women.  With more coverage in the world of women’s fashion (with a lean toward bargains), we hope to be a source of shopping inspiration for teen and adult women.
  • Feathers Fins and Fur continues to be a resource for pet owners everywhere.  To provide more information to our readers, we now have monthly columns on cat health, dog health, fish care, and amphibian and reptile care.  We also continue to publish our weekly Ask the Vet column, which is a valuable asset for our readers.  (If you have a question about your pet, please feel free to submit your question.

Enjoy what remains of the summer.  We may even take a Friday afternoon off to indulge in a bit of a long weekend.
