Hear ye, hear ye! The silent auction for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s Lehigh Valley & Northeast Pennsylvania Region’s Visionaries of the Year Grand Finale Gala is open online as of 3:00 pm today! Here is the link to bid: https://lnkd.in/emayiuFQ Please share this link with your family, friends, donors, on social media whenever and wherever you can. My auction items are items numbered 395-402. There is something for everyone. Item Number 401 is not yet live, pending confirmation of some important details for a night’s stay at The Dery House mansion with a bottle of champagne to help you celebrate winning the night’s stay. Stay tuned for an update on that item. Remember: People DO NOT have to be present at Grand Finale to bid or to win, so share the link with everyone you think might be interested in bidding on some great items, including luxury trips to exotic destinations, concert and other event tickets, alcohol, and more. Note: You need to register and provide a credit card to bid, and you must be 21 to bid on packages that contain alcohol. Also, there is a buy now option available for a price that is about twice the estimated fair market value of each item. So if you really, really, really want a particular item, then you don’t have to bid - you can buy it now and help me/us raise even more money for the cause. With your help, I think I can still reach my goal of raising $25,000 for LLS by next Thursday to help end blood cancers sooner rather than later. As they say about voting - and bidding - please bid early and often and/or share the link with others so they can do so. #payitforward #bid #buy #silentauction #LLS #visionariesoftheyearcampaign2024

Count me as part of this group that left Massachusetts for New Hampshire. I would have loved to live in the area where we bought our first starter home in MA, but we could not comfortably afford a larger house for our growing family. When we sold our house in Massachusetts, it had risen 40% in price over just 4 years. We bought a home that was newer, 55% larger, and with 2x as much land in New Hampshire for barely more than what we sold our house for in Mass. Plus, by moving 15 minutes north I got an immediate 5% raise by taking advantage of NH's 0% state income tax. I am the same distance from Boston and family in MA as I was before, in a great town with top-tier schools, a solid community, and 10 minutes from the largest city in NH with airport access. So why is Massachusetts so expensive? The argument I always heard about the cons of New Hampshire were about the high property taxes, which is true compared to most of the country. But right now we are only paying about 10% more in property tax than we did for a much smaller house/lot in Massachusetts, so even that argument isn't working anymore. I run into people all the time who I knew from going to high school/college in MA that are now living in NH. That 25-34 group does not have time to sit around and wait for MA to figure out their insane housing crisis while they are trying to move into their own place and start families. Massachusetts is a great state with a lot to offer, but they better figure out how to keep an entire generation of workers that are fleeing their state for better financial opportunities. Unfortunately, I don't think they will anytime soon. #housing #massachusetts #newhampshire #millennials https://lnkd.in/e9ZNDmdS
