When you get a job offer, you’re probably focused on salary, title and growth potential, which are important things to evaluate. But are you taking the time to understand the value of your new benefits package and any additional company “perks”?

We hope to see you all at the Elks Club in Mechanicville on 10/30/16 to help support our very own Erika Goudreau and her son Tyhlar. Tyhlar has had a kidney problem since birth that has deteriorated and transplant is needed. Luckily Erika is a match and they are planning for a November surgery! Tyhlar is 13, in 8th grade, plays football and basketball for the Mechanicville Red Raiders.

On a Saturday afternoon my daughter makes a casual suggestion to ride our bikes around the neighborhood. We bike around familiar streets, look up at the sky and admire the beautiful flowers on our path. Midway through our excursion, we stop at our neighborhood park. My daughter jumps off her bike and heads to the monkey bars. I watch as she converses with a girl who appears to be about the same age. As I walk to the playground, I notice a woman heading in the same direction. We start to talk and I learn she is the mother of the little girl who is playing with my daughter. Within a few minutes we discover we live in the same area and make a promise to meet again so our daughters can play at the park.
