Hey First name / friend! It’s been a busy and hot summer for Mary and me and our family! We had a fun time chatting about travel recently with folks who came to our French pastries night at Nellie B’s, which is our favorite local cafe and bakery. Our next event is a free Italian night, also at Nellie B’s, which will be 6 p.m. on August 24. We have some exciting news to share! We are changing host agencies, which means we will have access to better perks and additional benefits for our clients. We will share more soon! |
