Greater Portland/Vancouver Monthly
Marketing Update - November 2019
This week I am feeling very nostalgic. We are having a big celebration Friday to celebrate 10 years in business. WOW- a decade!!! In reality it is 11 years, but this is the year we decided to have the party. Last year, my team member and friend passed away and it did not seem appropriate to celebrate anything related to work. But this is the year to celebrate- I feel it, and I am putting that into the universe. So many of our sponsors and community partners have been part of our “story” as we have now grown into 4 guides serving Oregon and Washington. Thank you to everyone who has shared a guide with a family, provided a testimonial about of services, and to all our sponsors that make it possible for us to provide a comprehensive resource in the local community.
Our new big news- we are now reporting Senior Housing Availability on our website. Initially we were working with a different company to do this, but it seemed better for us to mange this internally, and strip it down to just the basics and what we heard you wanted. This is going live this week and we expect a few disruptions, but please work through these with me. Our goal is for every community to be able to report their availability at no cost. Sponsors will be able to add pictures and more details, but EVERYONE is able to report their availability at no cost. Visit RetirementConnection.com/availability now to claim your listing and start reporting. We would love to have tons of examples to talk about at the party on Friday.

Additional Resources
There are so many resources included in Retirement Connection, that often a few may slip past you and may not be noticed. Did you know that the guide also includes:
“When something bad happens, you have three
choices: You can either let it define you, let it destroy you or let it strengthen you. ” – Dr. Seuss
As I write this newsletter, we are awaiting results from my husband, Lyman’s scans last week following six months of chemo; hoping that his cancer has not spread. No matter the result- this will not define or destroy anyone in my circle- including him. And more than anything it has showed us what he is made of, what I am made of, and what my team is made of... for that I remain grateful.
