Thank you to everyone who came out to show their overwhelming support for Avocados Mexican Restaurant last night, and who brought a nonperishable food item to support the Stoughton food pantries. We were overwhelmed at the turnout, and so grateful to have sponsored this cash mob! Congratulations also to the winner of a $50 gift card to Avocados, who will be contacted shortly!

WBCN is bringing back the CASH MOB!!

What is a cash mob, you say?? Cash mob will support a locally-run business simply by talking it up in our circles, and encouraging our friends and associates to visit the business on a certain date.

This cash mob is for Avocados Mexican Restaurant in Stoughton, MA. Please visit any time from 11AM to 10PM on November 14th to show your support. While you are there, help restock Stoughton's food pantry by bringing an item for the collection box, and drop a business card in the bucket for a chance to win an Avocados gift card from WBCN!

We will be meeting there for dinner, and would love to have a taco with you in honor of Taco Tuesday! Stop by and say hi!

This week's TIP TUESDAY is straight from our member, Lisa Andrews-Bowers!

DIVORCE – Financial Concerns and Planning
Going through a divorce can get quite ugly. It’s a time in one’s life when they must deal with their emotional as well as financial well-being. During this stressful time, couples find it difficult to make good financial decisions. For some, it may be the first time they are having to make these important decisions. Where should you start and what are the concerns when dividing assets?

- First, surround yourself with your own team of professionals – attorney, financial advisor, and accountant who can work together for your benefit.
- Primary residence – how it is going to be divided, or who is retaining ownership, will create tax consequences that could be less favorable for a single filer vs joint. What are the options? For one, selling the home while still married could be more favorable. You have options.
- Pension plans – for the owner of that plan who is required to divide the monthly payouts, it could be unfavorable to the owner. There are ways of distributing assets so that the pension plan owner does not end up with an unfair payout over the long term.
- Tax implications when dividing various asset classes.
- Planning for your financial future and stability.
- Including college planning in your settlement.

If you are going through a divorce and have questions, give me a call.

For the 3rd straight year, the WBCN was able to provide a scholarship for a Stoughton High School senior who demonstrates a specific set of skills that align with business standards. Our very own Lisa Andrews-Bowers was able to attend “Scholarship Knight” to present Miss Stephanie Costeira her scholarship! It was a great night!
We are proud to be a small part of the almost 200 local scholarships provided that night, totaling over $300,000. Congratulations to Stephanie, as well as all of the other recipients of scholarships and various awards.

One last TIP TUESDAY post from our fabulous member, Mary Ellen of An Organized Approach: I am talking today about textile recycling folks! This has been the paramount of AOA! Every client I’ve ever had, regardless of whether they have owned a home or a business, has had at least one textile to contribute... although typically, it’s much much more! Sometimes the textiles could be a pair of pants that didn’t fit, a mismatched sock, an old pillow that was stained, a pair of tattered work boots, or an eyeglass cleaner cloth. Textiles are really everywhere, it’s just about being more mindful of unwanted items!👍🏼
I have had so many textiles on more than one occasion that I’ve had to drive around Stoughton, Massachusetts and put them in 5 of the receptacles at the schools because I had 15 contractor bags full of fabric or clothes from a client! WOW!⭐️
Textile recycling really is such an incredible way to eliminate items from around your home while still contributing locally to your community! All of the textile bins that I use generate funds for enrichment programs for our children at the preschool, elementary and the middle school levels!
Please consider collecting a small bag and dropping it off at any of the large white receptacles. It’s like anything else in life, once you become aware of the textile recycling bins, you’ll start seeing them pop up everywhere!
Oh… And did I mention that they take stuffed animals! Score!!! 🧸
