[Monthly Marketing Update] Mid-Willamette Valley May 2017

'Tis the season of Galas and Auctions. Our team was honored to be a part of the Parkinson's Resource of Oregon event, the Elders In Action event earlier this month, and the recent Alzheimer's Network's Affair to Remember (Naomi was awesome as the auctioneer, and Michael was the perfect Master of Ceremonies)- make sure to check out their posts and pics on social media. One big event still lies ahead... the Alzheimer's Association Memories in the Making Art Auction this Friday the 12th in Portland; this fundraiser supports Alzheimer’s across the entire state. It is wonderful to see how our industry comes together to support the families we serve.

“If the highest aim of a captain were to preserve his ship, he would keep it in port forever.” ~Thomas Aquinas

What do you want more of- time, prosperity, respect, balance? There is always a risk of something going wrong; a bad hire, a market that flounders, a product that flops, a market failure. But there is also the chance that we hire the employee that ads extra wind to our sails, a product or market that helps create increase awareness, or marketing campaigns that brings increased business. Feel the fear and do it anyway, nothing comes from staying in port, ships were built to sail.
