Last week we traveled (virtually!) to Europe with Kim Weaver, owner of Cruise Planners who shared an inspiring presentation on “Discovering Europe.”

Kim walked us through why Europe continues to be such a popular travel destination, sharing that international arrivals are up year over year and that roughly 15–17 million Americans travel to Europe annually—with that number continuing to grow. It’s clear that international travel is not slowing down anytime soon!

She also highlighted some of the classic destinations people are drawn to, including Paris, Rome, Barcelona, and Vienna—each continuing to see strong visitor growth and global interest.

After hearing her presentation, I think many of us left with a serious case of wanderlust!

If you know someone dreaming about a European vacation, cruise, or guided travel experience to anywhere, Kim is a fantastic resource to help make it happen and take the stress out of planning.

At our meeting on 5/27 we heard from Nancy Trammell with Compass Health Consultants and learned just how many different ways she helps individuals, families, and businesses navigate the often-confusing world of health insurance.

Nancy shared some important reminders about why health insurance matters—not only to help manage unexpected medical expenses, but also to protect savings and prevent medical debt. She also walked us through the wide range of plans she offers, including individual and family coverage, small business plans, Medicare, dental and vision, travel medical insurance, accident coverage, and more.

One thing that stood out to me is that many people assume they either have coverage through work or don't have options—but there are often solutions available that they may not know about.

Nancy is a great resource for anyone who:
✅ Is self-employed
✅ Has a job that doesn't offer benefits
✅ Needs coverage for dependents
✅ Is turning 26 and aging off a parent's plan
✅ Owns a business with 3+ employees
✅ Is considering retirement before age 65
✅ Is approaching Medicare eligibility or reviewing their current Medicare plan

If someone in your life falls into one of those categories, Nancy would be happy to help them explore their options and find coverage that fits their needs.

WELCOME to one of our newest members, Michelle Moncey with Guardian Relocation! We got to know her a little bit through her Launchpad Presentation last week!

Instead of focusing on business, Michelle gave us a glimpse into the person behind the profession with a fun game of "3 Truths and a Lie." We learned that she is an Irish twin with a brother less than a year older, has one niece and one nephew, and is clearly a dog lover—having had three beloved pups who each lived to the impressive age of 18!

One of my favorite things about Launch Pad presentations is getting to know our members on a more personal level, and Michelle did a great job helping us do just that. We are excited to continue learning more about her and her business in the months ahead.

In the meantime, if you know someone who is relocating—whether it's across the street, across town, across the state, or across the country—Michelle is a fantastic resource and would love an introduction!

On 5/20 we heard from Darren Summers with Ameriprise Financial, and his presentation was a little different than what we're used to—in the best way!

Instead of a slideshow or prepared presentation, Darren opened the floor and spent the entire time answering questions from our members. I have to admit, that takes some confidence! It was a great opportunity to hear his thoughts on a variety of financial topics and showed just how knowledgeable he is when it comes to helping clients plan for their financial future.

Darren was also recognized as a recipient of the 2025 Ameriprise Client Experience Award, which speaks volumes about the level of service and care he provides to his clients.

If you know someone who is planning for retirement, looking to invest, navigating a major life change, or simply wants a trusted advisor to help them make informed financial decisions, Darren would be the best person to connect with!!

At our meeting on 5/13 we had the opportunity to learn more about Derek Hoffman, owner of Ignite Performance and Health!

Derek shared how Ignite takes a personalized approach to helping clients improve their health through a combination of fitness, nutrition coaching, physician oversight, and modern medical treatments. Whether someone is looking to lose weight, build strength, navigate menopause, optimize hormones, or simply feel better overall, their team creates individualized plans designed for long-term success.

And if you're wondering who Derek is looking to meet, his answer was simple: anyone who wants to "look better naked!" 😆 ...we probably all know someone like that, right?!

If you know someone who has been struggling to reach their health goals, is curious about GLP-1 weight loss (the healthy way), hormone optimization, nutrition coaching, or personal training, Derek would love an introduction.

Today we had an outstanding 10-minute spotlight from Nikki Zavradinos, owner of Local Handyman St. Louis!

Nikki shared her unique journey — spending 20 years in IT before she and her husband launched their handyman business — and it’s clear that same problem-solving mindset now drives the way she serves her clients.

Local Handyman St Louis handles a wide range of home repair and maintenance needs, including:
🔧 Drywall repair and patching
🔧 Small jobs and “odd jobs” around the house
🔧 Caulking and preventative maintenance work
🔧 Gutter cleaning and home upkeep
🔧 Deck revivals and exterior refresh projects
🔧 “Oh while you’re here…” type repairs that always come up once work begins

She also highlighted an important topic for homeowners: aging in place. From small retrofits to thoughtful adjustments, her team helps clients stay safely and comfortably in their homes longer.

One of the best reminders from her talk was the value of preventative care — especially simple things like caulking that can help avoid much larger repairs down the road.

And in true Nikki fashion, she didn’t just talk value — she brought it. Every attendee received a branded tape measure to take home!

Thank you, Nikki, for a fast-paced, practical, and extremely valuable presentation. You truly packed a lot into 10 minutes!

Shoutout to Darla Ellis owner of LimeLife Tax Relief Experts for a very informative presentation at today’s meeting!!
Taxes are about more than filing forms once a year - they are about strategy, planning and keeping more of what you’ve earned! Darla shared valuable insight on how tax liability is calculated, why filing status matters and how proactive planning through the year will create better outcomes.
One of the biggest takeaways: with the right guidance (aka LimeLife!) money can often be directed toward personal goals and growth instead of unnecessary surprises at tax time…paying the IRS
Our chapter is so fortunate to have a knowledgeable and trusted tax resource!!! If you or anyone you know could benefit from smart planning, tax relief solutions, year-round guidance or a quick review of what they currently have please reach out to Darla!
