Hot Tip For Managing Your Calendar |  |
Having a hard time managing all of the events and networking opportunities you attend? Well, there may be an easier way to populate and update your calendar using the resources already posted on Retirement Connection's website - here's how:
- Go to the Networking Page
- Click on the button for the Events Calendar at the top of that page.
- Once the calendar opens, on the bottom right, click the button for "Google Calendar".
- This will add this calendar and all supporting info to your calendar page if you use Google Calendar.
- You can then also sync Google Calendar with Outlook, smart phones and other applications.
What's so great about this? As meeting locations or topics change- your calendar is automatically updated as we receive the updated details. We also provide a web link to more information for your calendar. The networking calendar remains independent from your personal entries for quick viewing. (you will need a FREE google email account to do this)
We are happy to assist you in setting this up - call Amy

New Education Page on the Website
Insight from our Sponsors...
At the last Retirement Connection quarterly sponsor breakfast, many people shared their interest in partnering with other sponsors and providers to gain staff training material, or to provide educational marketing resources. Last year Retirement Connection coordinated 10 hospital resource fairs from Salem to Vancouver. our Sponsors had created 50+ CEU approved educational posters. We have now added those posters to an Education page for others to access and reach out to our sponsors for collaboration.
Visit the new Education page on RetirementConnection.com to view thumbnails of each poster, and a contact list. The posters can be viewed full size with a click and you can reach out to the sponsors for additional resources.
We are continuing to update and improve the Education web page, but wanted to get a link to you as soon as possible.

Nuggets of Knowledge
Telling the Truth
There are only two mistakes one can make along the road to truth; not going all the way, and not starting
- Buddha
In a meeting with all seemingly agreeable perspectives, it can be challenging to share a dissenting opinion. It is then rewarding when you find others felt the same way- but were not ready not to speak up, but happy you did. Then it gets tougher, because now there is less control of where the conversation moves. It was easier and cleaner when everyone seemed to agree; but will there be as much discovery? Choose discovery, listen to all opinions, and be willing to change yours. - Amy
