Bounce Back USA Program at Minuteman Press

The Minuteman Press franchise is sponsoring a campaign to help businesses get back on their feet by creating a local website called Bounce Back Fairport. It’s a free community website where you can list your business and encourage shopping locally, so we can all recover quickly. Essentially, its free local advertising, with no strings attached. Go to https://bouncebackusa.minuteman.com/locations/ny/fairport/ where you will find our local page for this area.

Again, it is free and takes only a minute to list your business.

We will continue to change gloves frequently, and reinforce all measures for hand washing and the use of hand sanitizers.

We will continuously monitor the CDC and Food and Drug Administration (FDA) guidance on the most up-to-date practices.

More Estate Planning Changes During COVID-19

We are all very aware of continual information changes at this challenging time for all of our lives. This is also true for estate planning. An April 7 Executive Order, signed by Governor Cuomo, was the impetus for a new system for managing witnesses and notarizing during our time of distancing. Also, Medicaid support of long term care planning has been affected by the New York State Budget. Rules have relaxed, attesting of assests, income and gifting. McConville, Considine, Cooman, & Morin, PC continue to offer appointments to Estate Administration fiduciaries. Read more to understand the details.  https://www.mccmlaw.com/articles/2020/04/28/updates-to-estate-planning-during-covid-19

RAMP - Lemonade from Lemons - Music Video Release

Like nearly every other small business, the Covid-19 pandemic has caused a real strain on the Rochester Area Music Project (RAMP). They have moved to online lessons, which is reportedly working well and saving the business, even though it is not the preferred method. All instructors have adapted well and are getting many thanks from clients for keeping the flow going despite the squeeze.

In addition, Garry Manuel is releasing two compositions on May 1st, along with a video. One of the most special aspects of this release is that his son and VP of RAMP, Marshall, is the recording engineer and co-producer on the tunes. Garry is featured on vocals, guitars and even a little keyboard action. RAMP bass instructor, Charles Bianchi, also performs on both tracks.

Here is the link to Garry’s tune, Romantic Knots:
https://youtu.be/JAekNtWIhqg

This break in the action has enabled Marshall to be busy creating beats as well as original compositions, as he continues to work online with other recording artists that are about to drop some music that he’s recorded or co-written.

RAMP looks forward to reconnecting with everyone, but in the meantime is definitely making lemonade and having a few sips along the way.
