What an exciting Celebration! we had!  It was great to see so many of you in attendance and I am looking forward to a wonderful year with our new president.

Jennifer McCauley Logue of McCauley Logue Communications sends along a heart-felt thank you to Janet Laberge of Dirty Deeds for passing along some of the discarded furniture she collected as part of her clean-out business. “I’m the superintendent of my church Sunday School, and we recently celebrated the opening of our newly renovated Sunday School room,” Jennifer said. “As part of the renovation, we decided to create a nursery area where parents could bring infants during worship if needed. But with the major renovation project, our budget was tight.  Enter Janet: She provided our church with a beautiful (and free!) loveseat, rocker/glider and end table — exactly what we needed!  Janet is a living example of the ‘pay it forward’ principle, and her generosity will benefit our congregation for many years to come!”

Barbara Case of Moors & Cabot Investments has been a member of the Network since 1998.  In that time she has developed her business through contacts, coaching and collaboration.  Earlier this year those relationships, both business and personal, played a huge part in supporting and guiding Barbara with the care of her parents and loss of her father. “There are many to thank,” she said, “including:

• Lynda Chuckran, Welch Healthcare, for her wealth of knowledge, help and guidance, and the excellent care provided to her Mom at a Welch facility;
• Veva Johnson, Professional Bookkeeping, for her wisdom, senior facts and friendship always;
• Barry Gordon, Gordon, Mond & Ott, for outstanding legal advice, follow-through and protection of my parents’ assets, proving that while it is never too late to plan, it is always better to do so earlier;
• Diane Sargent, South Shore Elder Services, for pointing me in the right direction for proper in-home support;
• And the endless cards, plants, gifts, notes, inquiries and visits from so many of the SSWBN members that means so very much.”

Janet Laberge from Dirty Deeds shares a number of thank-yous this month.  First, to Cheryl Arlanson Russo of Arlanson Law Offices for hiring Dirty Deeds to do a clean out for one of their clients in Hanover.  Secondly, thank you to Raquel and Bob Mullaney of Comfort Keepers in Plymouth for using Dirty Deeds for a clean out at their lovely Plymouth home.  Thanks to Attorney Rebecca Coletta of Coletta Law Office in Hanover, for referring a friend to Dirty Deeds to assist in cleaning out her friend’s father’s house after his death.  Thanks to Karla Wood, a case worker at South Shore Elders, for referring a client who needed a couch removed and for letting Dirty Deeds know of another client who was in need of some furniture for his new apartment.  South Shore Elders does a wonderful job with the elders that they serve.  Lastly, Dirty Deeds thanks Joe Hernandez of Premiere Pros for referring a client in Hingham.

Joe and I are sincerely grateful to Beth Sobiloff from Birchwood Enterprises for providing Search Engine Optimization services on our Premiere Pros site.  We have been getting an increase in telephone calls all stating that they found us on Google.  Thank you Beth!

Enjoy the Summer and please remember to get out there and make those connections!
