Hey ADKYP! You know what they say–April showers bring May flowers, and man, did that ever happen finally this week! With the bonus snow in Lake Placid to wrap up the month…whew! Now that spring has sprung, there’s never a dull moment, between May Day, graduations, and Memorial Day. It’s also National Asian American and Pacific Islander Month AND Mental Health Awareness Month. This month’s newsletter brings more calls for action, some fun events as always (and a link to Champlain Valley Living!), and our usual featured member of the month.
Thanks, as always, to our corporate sponsor, UFirst Credit Union!

Member of the Month:
This month, we’re highlighting our very own board treasurer and Plattsburgh native, Elliott Munger! Elliott currently works as an office assistant for the advisors at Financial Guides of the Northeast, and he joined ADKYP in July of 2020 because of “a general propensity to throw myself into social situations and a dash of encouragement from folks around me”. He’s stayed in the group, and even joined the board because he believes in Plattsburgh–in his mind, the area is full of talent and potential. He feels compelled to help other people find a path and a place here, just as he is continuing to do. Ever the humorist, Elliott shares that one major professional accomplishment of his is the secret superpower he learned in his past job as a bank teller: he can take any phone call, no matter how awkward or angry. Be on the lookout for Elliott’s spoken word poetry on social media–his performances at the Old Soul Poetry Open Mic Nights often hit the internet.
