 Events for Beacon Public Schools are popping up now that Spring has sprung! A Little Beacon Blog created a Guide to capture these, and submitting information for it is free for organizers of these events. You'll learn about South Avenue's Color-A-Thon on April 6, which is their biggest annual fundraising drive and is open to all to participate. South Avenue kids have only a few days left for online fundraising, and kids from any school can register to get blasted with color while they run around the block.
You'll also learn about a recycling opportunity for your dead markers! Yup - South Avenue has a giant marker collection box year-round to give the markers a second life.

Our March Member Spotlight features Drink More Good. We have had the pleasure of working with Jason over the past several years, from what started as a Main Street retail business to what has now grown into a 10,000-square-foot manufacturing facility. From a small business owners policy to manufacturing insurance, we have had the pleasure to work alongside Jason every step of the way, to ensure that as his business grows, so does his business coverage. Jason gave us a full tour of the new facility, which we produced in this video for you to see.
