Memorial Day weekend is a time to honor our fallen heroes who lost their lives while protecting our freedoms. Our military should always be taken care of and unfortunately they are not. It is estimated that 300,000 veterans are homeless on any given night. The Walter and Connie Payton Foundation are expressing their highest appreciation for Veterans in need. WCPF working with the staff at Concord Place in Northlake, IL has built one floor/33 units for veterans and many who have been homeless. This project continues to grow through fund raising and donations. Jim Cauthorn supports veterans and their families with the Aid & Attendance benefit which brings financial support to veterans. All involved are extraordinary individuals who are making a difference for our Veterans, as we all should be!

Career Building at Any Age
Click Here for Podcast: AIR-2013-04-13.mp3
The number of working Americans age 65 and over has doubled in the last 15 years with a record of 7.2 million in the work force. Much of this has been driven by 401(k)s decimated, an increase in the social security age and a decrease in those who retire with pensions. Not all is doom and gloom, as working does have its benefits. We stay active, social and with a purpose, which is important as we age. Business and Career Coach, Vickie Austin says a “Career Encore” may be the answer. It could be time to do something you have always wanted to do or discover what you would love to do. With a little thought process and strategic planning, your Career Encore could have you passionately doing what you love. It may even become the best time and most alive encore of your life!
