Coffee with the President
It's that time of year again: tax season! Hooray!...said no one ever.
Tax day this year is Tuesday, April 17th, 2018, due to Washington D.C. Emancipation Day being observed on Monday, April 16th. Are you a numbers person? Me neither! Lucky for all of us, the Tri-State region has many options when it comes to financial and insurance needs. Reach out to any of these qualified firms or individuals for help with your tax questions:
And while we turn our offices and desks upside down in search of 'W' forms, let's all do a hint of spring cleaning! Take the opportunity to shred that box of old financial papers, recycle the piles of magazines that have accumulated over the winter, and if weather permits, open those windows wide, and clean them inside and out! As the sun gets higher, so do our spirits, so let that sun shine in!
Jean Saliter, President

Know the 10 Warning Signs: Early Detection Matters
|
On Friday, April 6 at 11 am, Noble Horizons will host professionals from the Alzheimer’s Association who will present,
Alzheimer’s: Know the 10 Warning Signs; Early Detection Matters.
The warning signs of Alzheimer’s disease are often dismissed as side effects of normal aging. If you or someone you know is experiencing memory loss or behavioral changes, it’s time to learn the facts. Early detection gives you a chance to begin drug therapy, enroll in clinical studies and plan for the future. Attend this training to learn the 10 Warning Signs of Alzheimer’s disease. The speakers will separate myth from reality and address commonly-held fears about Alzheimer’s in America. Hear from people who have the disease and find out how to recognize the signs in yourself and others. Reservations for this free program may be made at

Spring Equinox: "Equal Night"
Tuesday's arrival of spring marked a perfect equilibrium of darkenss and light which will be followed by days of increased brightness, warming our earth with renewed energy and life. The changing of seasons is a time when the weather is a bit unpredictable and there is heightened appreciation of what lies ahead. Fresh glimpses of beauty have begun to decorate the region as flower buds creep up from thawing soil, local farms welcome new life, and our villages are alive with pedestrians just soaking up the sunshine.
The Spring Fringe Season is the ideal time to plan a garden that will provide food and enjoyment in the months that lie ahead. Germinating seeds throughout the coming weeks will soon grow hearty plants when planted in the rich Berkshire soil...
