WINTER 2016
A MESSAGE FROM
THE DIRECTOR
The holidays are here! Between traveling, shopping, and spending time
with loved ones, it’s a busy and exciting time of year. With all of that
excitement comes another change in season. Temperatures are dropping,
our evenings are beginning a little earlier, and soon the snow will greet us
once again. It’s easy to stay inside and hibernate until spring, but I hope
you bundle up and get out to enjoy the season with us!
Whether it’s a local Health Fair this winter, or a getaway to tropical Costa
Rica this spring, I hope you have a chance to participate in the excellent
adventures we have planned for 2016!
We are looking forward to spending wonderful times with all of you
this winter. Be sure to join us as we host three seminars on Trusts and a
seminar on accident prevention. We will also be seeing some great shows–
the McCartney Years, and Sinatra. And, Barbara Rinella is scheduled to
entertain us all on April 14th! Get out your calendars and make sure you
call for your reservations early because events like these will fill up fast.
Please call or email us to make your reservations.
Fondly,
P.S. Cathie is back and anxious to see all of you!
