💡A Little Love, A Lot of Community

Learn How to Show Love to Our Teams - Our Neighbors - and Our Town

PRESENTED BY:

Expert Planning. Zero Fees. Memories Made

Good Morning, Neighbors! 👋

This week’s theme is all about giving back and showing love. We have opportunities to support our swimmers, help our football team, and donate to local families in need. It’s community spirit at its best! Speaking of love, I’ll be on a cruise ship celebrating my 15th wedding anniversary with Marissa this week (being married to the Magic Travel Pro has it upside 😉), so I might miss a daily update or two. But the good vibes here don’t stop!

A quick thanks to all you Preschool and Daycare operators I heard from, helping me curate the Preschool and Daycare guide. You can find it HERE or at our new online community hub: www.UpperMerionArea.com. I’m currently working on a guide for PET OWNERS. So, if you operate a pet business in the area, you may want to fill out my FORM to make sure you get your complimentary listing in there.

Have a fantastic week!

A LOCAL GEM

Local Lasagna Love Chef and Realtor Carla Abreu has been serving Lasagna's in our area since 2021.

A message from Carla:

“As a local Lasagna Love Chef, I volunteer my time and resources to support families in my community by preparing and delivering home-cooked lasagnas to those experiencing hardship, illness, or simply in need of kindness. Through the Lasagna Love organization, I match with local families and coordinate contactless drop-offs, offering comfort and nourishment during challenging times. This role allows me to give back in a personal and meaningful way, one lasagna at a time, while helping spread kindness and strengthen community bonds.

Go to Lasagnalove.org to sign up for yourself or someone you know.”
