In the spirit of the season, enjoy this excerpt from the poem “The Pumpkin” by John Greenleaf Whittier. Read the full poem here
Ah! on Thanksgiving day, when from East and from West,
From North and from South comes the pilgrim and guest;
When the gray-haired New Englander sees round his board
The old broken links of affection restored,
When the care-wearied man seeks his mother once more,
And the worn matron smiles where the girl smiled before,
What moistens the lip and what brightens the eye?
What calls back the past, like the rich Pumpkin pie?
Happy Thanksgiving!

Not too long ago, one of our clients became extremely ill. At that time we sent her some unique chocolates from a local Chocolate company called Wild Women Truffles. We remembered this particular client enjoyed the chocolates very much, so a few days ago, when we were notified the client had become terminally ill, we called up Wild Women Truffles.
While this company is known for its catering at special events and can also be found at a variety of retailers, Wild Women Truffles doesn’t usually deliver chocolates to individuals. Yet, when we explained the situation of our client to them they made a special exception and, instead of accepting payment from us, offered the chocolate as a gift.
It is gestures like this that really touch us. Thank you to the staff at Wild Women Truffles for partnering with us to help make a difference.
Living in the home of the free and the brave is often an overlooked privilege. On Memorial Day we will be closed to honor all those who have served to give us the great privilege of freedom. We will reopen on Tuesday, May 26th.
To all of you who have served in the armed forces, we sincerely thank you for your service.
To those who have lost a family member while in the line of duty, we are so very grateful for their service and sacrifice.
Please take a moment of remembrance as you listen to our National Anthem.
With the holidays upon us, we pause for a moment to reflect and say thank you. Thank you for your trust in us and for allowing us to be part of your financial family. We look forward to many more years of working together to plan, invest and succeed. We wish you the happiest of holidays and a prosperous New Year!
