Indy Boomer Publisher’s Note Welcome to our pre-Spring reflections on the Indianapolis-area Baby Boomer universe. In case you were not aware of it, those of us who live in the Fifth District are well served by lifelong Indiana resident and U.S. House Representative Susan Brooks, who shows every day that she cares about issues of importance to her constituents, including Job Training and cyber-terrorism, among others. Read all about it on page 6. You will also discover a wealth of information on issues of concern regarding good health this month, like Food for the Brain (page 24); Inspired by Fitness (page 18); and Are You Ready for the Sounds of Spring? (page 31). Do Boomers have memory issues? Oh yeah! Read all about it in Do You Remember? (page 28). Maybe you have had difficulty having a conversation with friends or family about matters of importance to you both? You should find the piece on page 20 extremely helpful in easing the process: How To Be a Good Communicator. If you have ever wondered about the story of Angie's List, get the facts on page 13. And have you heard about Special Needs Trusts (SNT) and were wondering if you need one? Your questions will be answered in the article on page 16: Planning to Meet Special Needs. Looking for an affordable option for R&R? Read US River Cruises (page 15), and take a chance on a fun and possibly educational experience. And finally, if you would like to share with other entrepreneurs how you run your business, or give and get referrals from those who are supportive of your professional efforts - or maybe are just looking for a way to make career-related connections on a regular basis, check out the article on page 17 for suggestions: Power Networking 101. You'll be glad you did. By the time you see this, we sure hope that the effects of the Polar Vortex are behind us – fingers crossed and four-leaf clover in the pocket! Enjoy reading, and let us know if there are topics of interest to you that you would like us to address…our eyes and ears are open.
