 April 15, 2014 Canandaigua Connected ENewsletter
I know my limits. I do a lot of things well but tax preparation is not one of them. This is why we have CPA's and accountants. I'm a big fan of sourcing out these type things to the professionals. The other thing I don't enjoy is shoveling but I think it is safe to say we're finally done with that. Happy Easter, Passover and all things SPRING!
Blue skies, Donna Bennett
