Dear Friends,

Spring is on the horizon. 🙂 Even in a pandemic, the world keeps turning, and the seasons keep changing.

As we approach the end of February, we are reminded that about a year ago the Coronavirus began to spread rapidly, and we are grieved by the over 500,000 deaths in the US that have resulted, as well as those around the world. Many of us have friends or loved ones who have died or suffered. This has truly been a tough season in profound ways. With COVID-19 cases trending downward and vaccinations being increasingly distributed, there may be light at the end of the pandemic tunnel. The nearness of Spring also brings the hope of sunshine, outdoor activities, fresh growth, and new possibilities. We wish all the best for you and your families.

In this issue, we included a brief market insight as well as some tools to help with your Spring cleaning. It might be time to open up that old drawer you’ve been avoiding and throw some stuff out. 🙂

If you are looking for a unique way to spend an afternoon, there is a link below to an outdoor winter roller skating event as well as a virtual egg hunt happening around Easter.

Thank you for the privilege of partnering with you,

The IFS Team
