Hey ADKYP! Happy New Year and welcome to 2025! Doesn’t a new year with all its fresh starts and new opportunities feel so good, especially after you’ve spent time resting for the holidays with your loved ones, and remembering years gone by? There’s something about having that time to reflect that makes you ready for changes. Maybe one of your resolutions this year is to get more involved in our North Country community. Or perhaps it’s to make some more friends? It could also be to just have some fun! Adirondack Young Professionals offers all that and more. This month’s newsletter is here to update you on membership, a current member, things we’re looking forward to in the area, and some ADKYP events!
