Spring has sprung. Meaning, it has flown the coop. Spring just wanted to make sure we really wanted it--for any of us who were
sad when we realized skiing was over.
And shoveling. Snow made its
brief (it has to be brief, right?) reprise.
And soon Spring will be upon us again.
The vernal equinox was March 20th this year, which is nature’s
way of letting the snow know that it is okay for it to leave. Now.
Most importantly, the days are longer. Snow or no snow, it is easier to get out and
about now that the equinox is upon us. With
more daylight comes more energy—spring cleaning really is a phenomenon. Getting out, or staying in, most find a
rejuvenation and desire to accomplish things.
Despite the mildness of this winter, surviving winter in Vermont should
always be celebrated.
This Spring, equinox means THE Equinox! We are venturing
south (and west) to try a new venue for our Mid-Year Meeting March 30-31. And who doesn’t love outlet shopping and
fancy locales? The food choices all
looked mouth wateringly good. Given our
last snow dump, skiing may still be an option.
Why not treat yourself to a relaxing stay at the Equinox, and add a spa
treatment or shopping? It is not too
late to register, and we’ve arranged an overflow hotel, should the Equinox rate
be too daunting. The CLE offerings are
sure to please. We are privileged to
have a renowned social media expert from Boston, a nationally recognized
financial speaker from Vermont, and presentations by many of our Vermont judges
and our own Attorney General.
Legislative schedule permitting, we also may get a visit from our
Governor! Check out the agenda at www.vtbar.myevent.com.
Spring also means Spring Journal time. The Spring Journal is nearly off to the
presses. Stay tuned for entertaining and
informative explorations on mushroom foraging, practicing by numbers, tales
from Kosovo, parrots, Phish and more. We
also will be offering another cartoon caption contest, so sharpen your newly
rejuvenated brain cells for another battle of wits.
Finally, what would Spring be without discussing new
growth? How about growing your knowledge
base, your connections with colleagues and your practice by trying out the new
VBA Connect online communities. Similar
to our old listserve, but improved on so many levels, VBA Connect will allow
you to share, connect and engage like never before. Join a discussion and see what the real
property folks have known all along…sharing collective wisdom is an extremely valuable
resource for your practice.
Here's to all the amazing things that Spring has to offer. Spring
forth and prosper.
