I really hoped that 2022 was going to be a year of positive change for me, my family's health, business, and the world. The recent events in Europe weigh heavy on my heart and I am trying to strike the balance of support and concern, while still contributing to daily life. Please join me in writing your representatives, sending positive thoughts, and any support you can to those in need.

On the local work front-

1) Welcome Steve… For more than a year we have worked with several web companies as we built CareAvailability.com and increased traffic to RetirementConnection.com, but now we are excited to finally welcome a full-time web developer to our team. Steve Beliveau has been supporting our development efforts as a contractor for the past few months, and he now officially joins our work family. He lives in Boston, but one good thing we've gained from Covid is a new comfort level with remote work and zoom calls.

2) Portland Early bird discounts have now ended...we are thrilled that so many existing sponsors took advantage of the 10% discount for reserving their ad space in advance. Invoicing and ad copy will not be done until the fall, so if you feel you missed out or did not see/open the prior emails from us- please email me TODAY.

3) Sponsors, save the date… we are hosting “A Taste of Derby” exclusively for our sponsors. Our sponsors should start looking for their derby hats now and plan to join us on the morning of May 7th for remote viewing of the Kentucky Derby and wine tasting at The Four Graces Winery.
