March Milestones

March For most of us, March marks the end of winter and offers hope for a pleasant Spring. However, blustery, windy days are as frequent as warm, sunny days. For hoop fans March Madness is also in the air as basketballs can be heard bouncing from coast to coast and Spring Training springs forth for baseball fans. The Easter holidays bring the family together early this year, and St. Patrick’s Day honors the Irish while giving everyone else a good reason to party in preparation of warmer days and summer fun.
