Experience The Adventure
By Lizzy Scully
Have you ever met a small boy while hiking on a trail who handed you his pet monkey, who then wrapped its arms about you and nestled sweetly into your chest? Have you sat under a sunlitwaterfall for hours letting all your stress wash away? One of Linette DeSano’s clients experienced these things during one hike while on a tour to Thailand.

Talk about your boring meetings. The Board of Trustees’ (BOT) meeting on Monday night had absolutely no pizzazz. It was like watching paint dry. Trustee Kathy Carroll was absent, and Mayor Pro-Tem Kirk Udovich arrived late. OtherA Frank and Open Discussion
