World Forestry Center

Every summer, hospitals having blood supplies on hand is critical during the 100 deadliest days between Memorial Day and Labor Day. During this time, more folks are taking vacations and not donating blood as frequently, and simultaneously hospitals tend to see an uptick in traumas and emergencies with more people adventuring and road tripping where more accidents happen. 
 
Help stabilize the local blood supply in our region by donating with <a href="https://bloodworksnw.org/about" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Bloodworks Northwest</a> - the local, independent, nonprofit organization managing the blood supply for 95% of Pacific Northwest hospitals right here in Oregon &amp; Washington.

For those that don’t know, in 2023 the FDA made donating blood more inclusive and allowing more gay and bisexual men to donate, and all donors are asked the same questions instead of some being disqualified because of sexual orientation.

Mic Crenshaw&nbsp;is performing live with&nbsp;Wu Tang member and legendary Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Nominee&nbsp;Gza&nbsp;at Hawthorne Theatre May 12, 2026.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Gza is celebrating 30 years of his classic Hip Hop album,&nbsp;Liquid Swords.&nbsp;While Mic Crenshaw has just released his latest studio album,&nbsp;Retribution.&nbsp;

Teams Meeting

Retirement planning isn’t just about how much you save, it’s also about how and when you pay taxes. Without a strategy, taxes can quietly erode your retirement income.
Join us for a free virtual webinar, Smart Strategies for College Financing – Planning for Your Child’s Future, presented by Melanie Finkle, Financial Advisor. Where we’ll discuss saving for college and how to use those savings and other funding sources strategically.
What we’ll cover:
<ul><li>Setting a college savings goal</li><li>Saving for college</li><li>Paying for college</li><li>Paying off student debt</li></ul>
Why this matters:
<ul><li>It helps reduce financial stress and uncertainty: Planning ahead allows families to understand costs, explore funding options early, and avoid last‑minute decisions that can increase stress or limit choices.</li><li>It can minimize student loan debt: A thoughtful strategy helps balance savings, scholarships, grants, and borrowing—potentially reducing the long-term burden of student loans for students and parents.</li><li>It protects other financial priorities: College planning done right helps families fund education goals without sacrificing essential priorities like retirement savings or everyday financial stability.</li></ul>
College financing isn’t a one-time decision—it’s an ongoing strategy that should adapt as your family’s needs and goals change. This session is designed to help you feel informed and confident about the path ahead.
Join us on May 20th at 12:00 pm PT. RSVP to the event now, and feel free to forward this email to anyone you think may benefit – all are welcome! <a href="https://www.ameripriseadvisors.com/melanie.l.finkle/lp/event/12/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">RSVP here.</a>&nbsp;Email sophia.jaksha@ampf.com with any additional questions!
