Great ideas happen every day, but too often, they stay stuck in notebooks, voice memos, or “someday” lists. This Business Booster will explore how small business owners can turn inspiration into momentum by taking one intentional action within two days of a new idea. Whether it’s launching a new service, following up on a connection, improving operations, or trying something new in marketing, progress starts with movement, not perfection.We will share practical strategies for overcoming procrastination, avoiding overthinking, and building habits that help ideas become real business growth.
Join us for PM Connections, hosted by the Business Resource Committee. Each session features an expert-led presentation designed to support and strengthen your organization — plus open networking, elevator pitches, member testimonials, and our popular “Talking Treasure.”
Connect. Learn. Grow.

Using red cabbage as a natural indicator, students will experiment with acids and bases and watch chemistry come alive in vibrant color.
Air Apparent: The Invisible Force All Around Us
Through hands-on experiments, students will explore the properties of air—and discover just how powerful something invisible can be.

Many members of our communities silently struggle with lingering symptoms of head injuries, PTSD, brain fog, depression, anxiety, and memory loss, and we want to give back by providing hope and help through real, science-backed brain health solutions. This community is part of a nationwide initiative supported locally to raise awareness about the brain’s ability to heal through modern therapies such as neurofeedback EEG detailed functional brain scan, low-level laser therapy, Neuro-rehabilitation Exercises, and neuro-functional medicine. We have been optimizing this treatment system over the last 10 years and are so grateful to finally be able to share it with our communities and loved ones. https://brainrestorecenters.com/ 49 Randolph Rd, Middletown, Connecticut 860-365-9445 info@trilogyhnp.com

Rob is known for bold studio lighting, rich tones, and clean, powerful compositions. From dramatic senior portraits to energetic basketball and football Media Days, every image is created with attention to detail and professional-level production value.
