Sharing our Connectivity Council with you today

If the past year has brought anything into focus, it's the vital importance of community. Many of us have spent months cooped up in front of our screens, often separated from friends and family. We've engaged with fewer people each day and lost the spontaneous conversations we used to have at the office or our local coffee shop.

However, as humans, we try to be resilient and cope. One way that we cope is through building and maintaining relationships. This year, for instance, we've made some "COVID buddies," to borrow language from one of them, Dr. George Everly.

As COVID reached our shores last March, we began a dialogue with our community in the form of this weekly Celebrations Pulse letter. Larry Zarin, our friend and member of our board of directors, encouraged us to gather experts to provide guidance on how best we can help our community express, connect and continue to form and maintain relationships during these times.

We took Larry's advice and connected with leading experts who agreed to share their research and insights with our community. You'll likely recognize many of their names from our previous Celebrations Pulse letters as we've tapped their knowledge on an individual basis. Today, we are excited to unveil the full council to our community and share with you these wonderful minds in the area of wellness, mental health and relationships.

Meet the Connectivity Council

I am sure some of you are thinking, "Why would a flower and gift company develop a Connectivity Council?" Well, we don't think of you as customers but rather as part of our community. That's why we host events like our Harry & David Hosted Dinners, floral arranging classes and charcuterie classes with a Cheryl's book club soon to come. It's also why we developed Connection Communities , digital communities which we are evolving to develop forums around community topics – like COVID's impact on children and the special circumstances of caregivers. Feedback on these activities and this weekly letter has been amazing.

For us, everything is better when it's shared. Whether that's an article, food, or the wonderful people we've met through our Connectivity Council.

P.S. Our Connectivity Council member, Dr.George Everly, recently wrote in Worth about the importance of Worth beyond wealth and why financial wealth alone seldom predicts happiness.

P.S.S. Join our friends at Worth March 2-4 at their Women & Worth Summit: Actions Speak Louder Than Words. Register now for your complimentary ticket to enjoy over 20 action-oriented panels about how we should be rebuilding our world for the benefit of all.
