This Week's Speaker
Case Method Parenting

Would you like to learn a fun way to engage with your children or grandchildren, or students? As a result, the children will become confident decision-makers and thoughtful problem-solvers.

Anne Jones, a mother and a Harvard graduate (Harvard Business School ’97), will share how to simplify the proven Harvard Business School case method into a framework a child can understand. Anyone can tell a one-minute story with a question in the end! The children become confident decision-makers and thoughtful problem-solvers. Parents bond with their children while using a world-renowned method to prepare their children for life.

Native of Finland, Anne Ylipahkala Jones graduated summa cum laude in Systems Engineering from Georgia Tech while on a full track scholarship. She is also a Harvard Business School grad. Before “retiring” from over ten years in the corporate world, Anne held progressively senior positions in strategy, finance, and performance improvement with NYSE companies. Once she met Mark, her husband, Anne focused on revitalizing the family surgery business and being a wife and a mom. Anne, Mark, and Jupiter, their youngest son, reside in Atlanta, Georgia.

Hearts for Honduras Virtual Wine Tasting

Join Hearts for Honduras annual fundraiser with all proceeds to benefit Lunches for Learning.  This aids a poverty-stricken region and levels the playing field for all elementary-aged children to attend school.

The pandemic has created a difficult global environment for us all. On top of the pandemic, the region has suffered through two major hurricanes.

The event will be held February 14th from 2 to 4, with a new theme. A wine tasting hosted by Dan Pernice of Roswell's Osteria Mattone. There are both a virtual and a limited in-person VIP experience with a selection of wines, small bites, and an additional package for dessert and sparkling wine.

Tickets are on sale now until Feb 8th at www.h4hroswell.com .
