Programming note: Weston’s offices will be closed on Friday, December 31, 2021, for the New Year Holiday. Here’s hoping you have an enjoyable New Years!
As we say goodbye to 2021 and tip-toe into 2022, we’d like to look back on the year with a year in review newsletter, looking back at the most popular newsletter articles of the year. As always this time of year, New Year’s technology resolutions of the past still apply as good practice and the 2020, 2019, 2018, 2017, 2016 and 2015’s year-end wrap-ups are all worth a read.
Our core purpose at Weston is to better the lives of others. That is why we are in business in the first place and we have really taken that to heart the last couple years. We truly care about the communities we live and do business in as we support lots of great non-profit organizations financially and continue to provide our time and expertise whenever we can. These organizations directly impact the well-being of those in our local communities, nation and the world and we feel it is a privilege to help and support them — especially with everything that’s been going on. We’ve been doing this for over 27 years now, and we’re glad you’re here with us.
We hope this newsletter has been a valuable resource to you (and please email us if there is any particular type of content you’d like to see more or less of). We ran some numbers to see what people are reading in this newsletter and on our blog. These individual articles from the last year were the most popular based on newsletter clicks and post views, so you can revisit them again or read them for the first time if you missed them when we mentioned them before. These are in no particular order:
