We’re thrilled to share exciting news: Lee Family News, Lee County’s original family-focused publication, has officially joined the Neapolitan Family Publishing family!
As of December 1, 2025, Neapolitan Family has acquired Lee Family News, a trusted parenting resource that’s served Lee County families since 1991. This expansion allows us to better serve families across both Lee and Collier Counties — and we couldn’t be more excited about what’s ahead.
Starting with the January 2026 issue, we’ll launch a combined Lee-Collier edition of Neapolitan Family Magazine, designed to provide even more helpful content, events, and local resources to parents throughout Southwest Florida.
A Shared Mission, A Stronger Community
The decision to bring Lee Family News under the Neapolitan Family umbrella was a heartfelt one. Kathy M. Kuser, longtime publisher and president of KMK Publishing Inc., is stepping into retirement after more than 20 years of service to the Lee County parenting community.
“After 21 years in publishing, I’m ready to slow down and spend more time with my grandchildren,” Kuser shared. “It’s been an honor to serve our readers, and I’m confident that the Neapolitan Family team will continue this work with heart and integrity.”
We’re honored by Kathy’s trust. Over the past two decades, our teams have worked side by side in neighboring counties, sharing a common goal: to uplift and inform local families. Now, we’re bringing that shared passion together in one expanded platform.
What Readers Can Expect
Our combined print and digital edition will offer:
- Parenting articles tailored to local families
- A comprehensive event calendar covering Lee and Collier Counties
- Weekly “best events” newsletter
- Annual guides to schools, camps, and special needs resources
- Popular seasonal fairs and expos
- Deeper coverage of local organizations and family-friendly businesses
If you’re a longtime Lee Family News reader, welcome! We’re excited to have you in our community. And for our Neapolitan Family readers, get ready for even more stories, ideas, and events to enrich your family life.
Staying Rooted in Southwest Florida
Neapolitan Family Magazine has proudly served Collier County since 2000, and we remain deeply committed to being a trusted, locally owned resource for families across Southwest Florida.
Happenings Magazine, also part of KMK Publishing, will continue under the leadership of publisher Jamie Kuser — covering arts and entertainment throughout the region as it has since 1995.
This is more than a merger; it’s a joining of missions, audiences, and community spirit. We can’t wait to grow with you.
