Weekly Perspectives Round Up: Get Ready for May
Here we go, kids. Tomorrow it will be May - the bridge month between the school year and summer time, the (hopefully) last month that you’ll even have to consider dragging a sweater along, “just in case”.
Be sure and check out the Local Perspectives section in your area (click on the lightbulb in our menu bar) - our local bloggers are offering GREAT info about local deals, activities and events in your area.
