Greater Portland/Vancouver Monthly Marketing Update - July 2019
Last week marked the halfway mark for Lyman’s chemo treatment (6 down, 6 to go). He is definitely a warrior. He has not missed a single day of work, although sometimes we think he should; but there is something awesome about coming to work with people you know care for you like family. A month ago, I shared that we kept any cancer diagnosis private within our work team- because we wanted to remain as normal as possible and did not want every conversation to be “how are you?”. I just have to say thank you for helping us maintain “normal”. Everything is looking very positive and our whole team has really appreciated the feelings of support from the community. We have felt the good vibes, without the burden of a "health" discussion. Thank you for that.
In celebration and appreciation, we have 2 events coming up for our sponsors-
1) Retirement Connection Summer Picnic on July 15th 2) 10-year anniversary celebration/ Holiday party on November 8th.
Knowing that everyone doesn’t read the
newsletter, please help us spread the word to all Retirement Connection sponsors.

“Our country is not the only thing to which we owe our allegiance. It is also owed to justice and
to humanity. Patriotism consists not in waving the flag, but in striving that our country shall be righteous as well as strong.” – James Bryce
