Finally, A Picnic!🧺

I love doing client events. As great as it would be to meet everyone one-on-one, that just isn’t possible with all our busy schedules. But events are awesome to get to see many of you and catch up. I love it. My favorite event has to be the picnic. I am so glad we were able to do it again this year! The kids always...

Those who know me know how committed I am to education. I like to support local schools because we all do better in a well-educated society. I have a Master’s degree, and my husband is professor emeritus. But these accomplishments would mean less in a society that is not also fully engaged in critical thinking and life-long learning. Think about it. How important is a...

There were walkers, runners, and dancers, but everyone kept going for 15, 20 or 30 minutes, depending on their grade. I was so happy to be a key sponsor...
