State Facilitated Retirement Programs in Rollout and Study Mode
Yes, these are the same numbers as the last edition. Just included here as a refresher.
Chaired by Comptroller Kevin Lembo, the Connecticut Retirement Security Authority Board met on Friday, August 21 with an agenda covering program budget, funding, and an executive session to discuss a contract for program recordkeeping services. Following executive session, the Board approved a term sheet for contracting with BNY Mellon for program administration and recordkeeping. *excellent progress, Connecticut.*
... if only every edition cut straight to the Pix ... don't get used to it!
This edition is dedicated to family time – of course. Here are a few Massenas and Lamberts socially distancing in Auburn, Washington on the Massena mini-farm.
Aging is a challenge, always better when you’re surrounded by the ones who love you. One of those loved ones may get inspired and play with your camera.
If you go to the mini-farm, you’ll see some chickens, lots of sheep, and the Great Pyrenees dogs that look after them. If you get lucky, your mother will give you some squash blossoms and you’ll stuff them with burrata and freshly-made, garlicky tapenade. #delicious!
You may have to take some time out to train. No worries on that 15 MPH speed limit, not breaking it yet.
And at the end of the weekend your sister may decline to give you some very important information.
Family is good. Life is good.

OK, that's a wrap. Enjoy the last bits of August!
