2 98 and still zooming!
Who says age is a barrier? When Covid hit and shut down the local Community Center, this 98-year-old started hosting “The Ladies Room,” a group of about 50 women via Zoom. The participants find her inspiring, even dubbing her the “Jewish Oprah.”
3 Is a Great Resignation coming?
Are you ready to say adios to your job? You’re not alone. When there’s uncertainty, people tend to stay put, so there are pent-up resignations that didn’t happen over the past year. Now that companies are having workers come back into the office. People are deciding that the 9 – 5 office grind just isn’t for them anymore.
4 Vaccines unleash wedding boom
After a year of saying don’t, brides and grooms are lining up in a big way to say, “I do.” And say goodbye to weekend weddings. Monday is the new Saturday because of a logjam for venues and services.
