Coffee with the President,
Good Morning Tri-State Chamber! And it IS good, isn't it? We've rounded the bend, emerged from the darkness and the depths of winter to find a spoil of sunshine and a few drops of rain (we hope just a few). It is light out at 5pm these days, that is an improvement! Sunrises and sunsets have been outrageous displays of drama in the skies! Terrific bookends on productive days of January for all, I hope!
*Sublte/not subtle reminder: Thursday at 5:30 sharp, Annual Meeting at Noble Horizons, see you all there for the budget/business/vote etc, then hold on to your hat, hope you all bring your appetite! Let's all raise a glass to the new year for TSC!
We have many great events coming up in our Tri-State region, please scroll below to catch up on it all. Do you have something you want to promote here? It's easy! Just email your pdf, jpeg, png, tiff, screen shot or press release to
[email protected]
by Sunday at noon, and your announcement will be included in that Wednesday's edition. Like I said, easy.
I hope I see everyone on Thursday evening, we have so much to celebrate! Also, there is work to do: commerce is a living, breathing thing, and we mustn't rest a moment! In closing, here are some quotes I love from
brainyquote.com
and a photo of frost on my studio window. Too cool for school!
"What's so fascinating and frustrating and great about life is that you're constantly starting over, all the time, and I love that." Billy Crystal
"Each project, I suffer like I'm starting over again in life. There's a lot of healthy insecurity that fuels this stuff." Frank Gehry
"I used to be Snow White, but I drifted." Mae West

Dear Map Friends,
Happy new Year! It's hard to believe 2019 is upon us!
This is our 25
th
year of publishing visitor maps, and the 12
th
year for your local map.
25 years ago at my kitchen table I never dreamed Miles of Smiles would eventually publish and distribute almost half a million maps of 5 different territories.
"Get on the 2019 Map".
Be a part of this great local map.
Prices are the same. Our rate sheet is attached. In fact, we have only 2 boxes of 2018 maps left in the warehouse.
The 12th edition needs to go to press end of March.
We will print 58,000 Maps. We distribute into over 200 locations.
Please just
email back, or call
me with your renewal or any questions.
Best regards and thank you for 12 successful years,
Mary Hart -

Concerto delle Donne—The Consort of Ladies
Revolutionary Italian Vocal Music of the Late Renaissance
For its winter concert, Crescendo presents a solo vocal concert celebrating a unique 16
th
century ensemble of professional female musicians. Performances will take place at 6 pm on February 16 at Saint James Place in Great Barrington, MA, and at 4 pm on February 17 at Trinity Church in Lakeville.
In 1580, in Ferrara, Italy, the Concerto delle Donne performed formal concerts for members of the inner circle of the Ferrara court as well as important visitors. The singers were renowned for their technical and artistic virtuosity. Most likely the first of their gender as women performing together, they revolutionized the role of women in professional music. The ensemble’s founding has been called the most important event in secular Italian music in the late 16
th
century. As word spread of their work, other similar groups were founded in the powerful courts of the Medici and Orsini.

Selling your home? What you can and can't take with you
|
If you are planning to list your own home for sale or will be buying a new home, you may be wondering what should be left behind. There are two ways to find out what is included.
The first option is to read the purchase agreement. This document details everything that is included with the home and special clauses on what may be removed that would under normal circumstances be left behind - a special plant or tree may be removed due to sentimental value that would normally be included as part of landscaping.

2018 Year In Review Housing Results Are In
2018 began with virtually every market our company serves experiencing sales decreases in single family home sales versus the first quarter the prior year, a notable trend considering it had been several years since we observed a similar phenomenon. Yet the year painted a more positive picture by the time it reached its conclusion. Many of our markets climbed ahead of 2017 by year’s end, while others trailed only slightly behind. When declines occurred, they were modest. Our Westchester and Fairfield County markets saw modest decreases in unit sales and dollar volume, while the Connecticut Shoreline saw minimal decreases in unit sales even as dollar volume improved. Litchfield and Berkshire Counties experienced sales growth and the Farmington Valley was flat with steady sales. Please read our 2018 Year in Review Market Watch for our full analysis.

Internship Opportunities at HVRHS Career Experience Program Unpaid Experiential Learning Program (UELP)
The Unpaid Experiential Learning Program is a CT State-sponsored and sanctioned unpaid internship
program for high school students under the age of 18. It allows them to hold unpaid internships in for-profit organizations in the community that have a significant educational benefit.
The U.S.Department of Labor and the courts have created strict criteria for legally permitting an unpaid internship in a for-profit entity. (This applies to college internships as well.) The UELP Program helps to ensure those criteria are met and creates the platform for a work-based educational experience for high school students. Non-profit and civic organizations are exempt from this criteria. The DOL does not want to inhibit volunteer or civic engagement in the community.

Help Wanted:
Young HVRHS Career Experience Internship Program seeks internship opportunities at local organizations.
HVRHS Career Experience Program is seeking to create job shadow and internship opportunities in both for-profit and non-profit organizations in the local community.
While one-day job shadows are a perfect vehicle to introduce a student to a job or career, internships are a longer-term way for our students to build skills, connect to curriculum, and establish connections in the local community with caring adults working in all kinds of careers.
