W.E.R.C. animal of the month: Red-Tailed Hawk Nursed Back to Health
The animal patients arriving at the Wildlife Education and Rehabilitation Center range from those needing "outpatient care," such as a small bird that perhaps flew into a window and suffered a minor concussion, to orphaned babies that require weeks or months to mature, to severely injured animals that need acute care and remain in our sanctuary for a long period of recuperation and treatment. All of these animals require dedication and expertise from W.E.R.C.'s staff and volunteers, but the long-term patients require the animal equivalent of a convalescent home.

It’s not all about the money
When meeting with a financial advisor, the purpose for the appointment will somehow revolve around money; you need help with a 401(k) rollover or advice on how to start a retirement plan for your business, you want to set up a program to save for your kid's college educations, you have received an inheritance or maybe you just want to get in on the latest IPO stock coming out of the Silicon Valley. That said, whatever prompted the appointment, it's not all about the money.
