🎓 Congratulations to the Class of 2026!

Many students are putting on caps and gowns this month and receiving those hard-earned diplomas. Graduation is the start of new opportunities, big goals, and important life decisions. As you or your family members step into this next chapter, it’s a great time to think about building a strong foundation for your future.

Time for the real "adulting" to begin... to start earning and protecting what you've earned. To plan for what’s ahead. As any graduate already knows, small steps over time add up to big life changes.

Wishing all graduates success, confidence, and a bright future! 💙

On Memorial Day, we honor and remember the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. Their sacrifice makes the freedoms we enjoy today possible.

As we gather with family and friends for the long weekend, we hope your day is filled with gratitude, reflection, and meaningful connection with loved ones.

Happy Memorial Day!

Spring is the perfect time to enjoy ingredients that only show up for a short window—and green garlic is one of them. 🌿 If you’ve never cooked with it before, think of it as a milder, slightly sweeter version of regular garlic that adds incredible depth without overpowering a dish.

This Green Garlic & Potato Soup is simple, comforting, and perfect for those in-between spring days when you want something warm but not too heavy.

Ingredients:

2–3 stalks green garlic (chopped)
1 leek (cleaned and sliced)
3–4 Yukon gold potatoes (peeled and diced)
4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
2 tbsp olive oil or butter
Salt & pepper to taste
Optional: fresh herbs (parsley or chives)

Directions:

Heat olive oil or butter in a pot over medium heat.
Add green garlic and leek; sauté until soft and fragrant.
Add potatoes and broth; bring to a boil, then simmer 15–20 minutes until tender.
Blend until smooth (or leave slightly chunky if preferred).
Season with salt, pepper, and fresh herbs.

Serve with crusty bread and a drizzle of olive oil for a simple, seasonal meal. 🍲

✨ Rethinking Summer Travel: Go Beyond the Usual

This summer, skip the crowded resorts and predictable itineraries. Choose experiences that blend adventure, learning, and relaxation, the kind of trips that leave you with real stories and a fresh perspective.

Here are 3 unique ideas to inspire something different:

🌊 Live at sea — Sail on a Research Vessel

Step aboard the Statsraad Lehmkuhl, a historic tall ship where you don’t just observe, you participate. Help sail the ship, live alongside a rotating crew of travelers and scientists, and contribute to real ocean research as you cross parts of the globe. It’s part adventure, part education, and completely unforgettable.

🏎️ Stay, play, and fully unplug — Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch

Just outside Las Vegas, this motorsports resort lets you stay on-site and immerse yourself in a completely different world. Spend your days learning high-performance driving, then unwind by the lake or at the clubhouse. It’s a unique blend of adrenaline, skill-building, and relaxation, all in one place.
