Scituate resident and former Firefighter recognized for Random Act of Kindness and Sunny Disposition.

DATELINE: PLYMOUTH, MA…

Brian Poitras, a Scituate resident and a recent retiree of the Lowell Fire Department, once again did not hesitate when help was needed. 

While visiting the Scituate Senior Center, Brian was chatting with acquaintance Anne Tucker Roberts. 

Anne mentioned that she was concerned that during a hot and humid spell in July her air conditioner was not functioning.  Service companies were not responding to her telephone calls or were scheduling her out for several weeks. Anne and her 85-year-old husband, John, were not only uncomfortable, but at risk.

Out of the kindness of his heart, Brian ventured into his own basement, brought up a spare portable unit and installed it in the Roberts’ home.

“It is a story of what this country has lost. He has renewed my faith that people really DO care about others!” noted Anne.

Thus, Brian Poitras is the first to be recognized by the Sunny Disposition campaign sponsored by Plymouth Solar Energy.  In addition to recognition, Brian will receive a $50 gift certificate to Strega Café, one of Plymouth’s finer restaurants.

Know someone who has recently performed a random or intended act of kindness?

Could be something as simple as taking out the trash for an elderly neighbor.  Or helping with heavy lifting of a new couch.  Or sharing an extra plate of homemade brownies.

Plymouth Solar Energy is recognizing Sunny Disposition winners monthly.  The winner will receive dinner for two at one of Greater Plymouth’s leading restaurants and a spiffy pair of sunglasses.

Mining the Golden Age of Podcasting. PR Works, based in Plymouth, Massachusetts announces podcasting services.

Experts and listeners agree, we are in the Golden Age of Podcasting. More than half of American homes tune into a podcast regularly. Why not YOURS?

Given this high audible trend, PR Works, based in America’s hometown of Plymouth, Massachusetts, has launched a podcast service. The service ranges from establishing a Podcast strategy to recording and editing the show to promoting it. 

“Podcasting allows you to control the message, control the medium and tap into new clients, strategic partners and referral sources,” notes PR Works Founder Steven V. Dubin, a Plymouth, Massachusetts resident.

He added, “Podcasting is another story-telling channel and the one-to-one audience it creates is powerful. Where most get stalled is in having a clear niche topic and managing all the details of technology, arranging guests, editing the raw footage, uploading each segment to YouTube and the many podcast portals and then promoting the podcast to expand the audience. We help boil that down and get it done.”

Here are some of the considerations to podcasting.

First, the “Why”? 

Are you doing this to position yourself as “the” expert? Book prospects as guests and build those relationships? Generate solid content for social media? Enhance SEO? Provide useful information to your core audience?

Your answer to ALL of the above should YES!

Second, the theme?

What is your unique programming theme? Do you expand upon family business, start-up business, mid-market business? Are you focusing on a niche? Young families? Senior living? Middle-age madness? Choose a theme and build upon it.

Third, the Title?

The title of your podcast should give a hint about the content and entice us in. No surprise about what “Planet Money” is about. “Football Weekly” tells it all. You could get clever, but you don’t want to be obscure and leave us guessing.

Fourth, Scheduling?

Most new podcasters can’t keep up a pace of more than once a month. That being said, it is worthwhile to record the first three segments all at once. In our binge watching/listening world, give your audience a good dose of what you do. 

It is best to develop a schedule and editorial outline of segments for each business quarter.

Fifth, Guests?

Let’s face it, unless you are stand-up comedian or experienced performer, you probably can enhance broadcasts with a guest or two. Guests add insight, variety and color. 

The challenge is to book them, prepare them, obtain background materials, etc. That is a critical part of the process.

Six, the Technology?

How will you record? How will you upload to key podcast portals (Spotify, Itunes, etc.).How will you promote each episode? PR Works has reviewed a wide range of platforms and came up with an inexpensive and thorough solution that includes developing a vlodcast (video of the podcast) and the audio podcast at the same time.  Thus, you are bolstering a YouTube channel and reaching out via key podcast portals.

Seventh, the Promotion?

Now you’ve gone to all the trouble of creating a podcast, how do you get it out there?

Social media posts, e-newsletter, news release and blog posts help move it along.  These messages should ALSO be prepared and customized for your guests to share with their audiences.

Ready to go “live”?  5-4-3-2-1.  For additional information about podcasting, contact PR Works at www.PRWorkZone.com, (781) 582-1061, 18 Main Street Extension, Suite 409, Plymouth, MA.

Don’t do Divorce alone. Divorce workshop offers support and practical direction.


It’s impossible to understand how painful divorce is, if you haven’t been through it.

The newly formed Divorce Support Group provides a safe, welcoming place to work through your feelings with other people facing similar challenges. Together, we explore denial, fear, loneliness, friendships, guilt/rejection, grief, anger, and whatever else arises. We will also discuss practical ways to take care of yourself. 

The workshop is scheduled for eight Thursdays,  6pm – 7:30 p.m. March 7 and includes March 7, March 14, March 21, March 28, April 4, April 18, May 2 and May 9 at the Maverick Wellness, 67 Coddington Street, #209, Quincy MA 02169.  Cost is $240 for the 8-week session.  Group support works best when members can commit to attending all the sessions.  Participants are encouraged to sign up only if  they believe they will be able to attend all the sessions.

This small support group (limit is 6-8 members) will provide a safe, accepting space to discuss the emotional challenges of your divorce, talk with people who “get it,” and learn from each other.

Specifically, the workshop explores practical ways to take care of yourself, cope with stress, how to talk with your children, meeting with your lawyer, ways to co-parent with your ex, feelings around the family home, personal belongings and more.  

The workshop was developed and will be led by Frances T. Spillane, a divorced mother of two children and recently remarried.  She is an LMHC and Life Coach who supports clients in creating meaningful, fulfilling lives.

“When I look back at my divorce, I often wonder ‘What was wrong with me?’”  She added, “Why did I try to do it all alone?  Why didn’t I ask for more help? Why didn’t I do more to help myself?  Why didn’t I find more support?  What was I thinking? Having survived that gauntlet, I developed this workshop.”

Fran is on her third career.  Prior to becoming a therapist, she was a tax accountant, then a stay-at-home mom. Her own journeys through transition give her a deep sense of empathy and compassion, as well as the knowledge that change provides the opportunity to create a more joyful life. Her authentic and unconditional positive regard for clients supports their honest exploration of their most important issues.

Fran practices in Attleboro and Quincy, MA.  She earned her M.A. at Bridgewater State University, and her B.A. at University of Notre Dame.

Johnson Brunetti named presenting sponsor of Camp Casco’s Campfires & Cocktails fundraiser

Johnson Brunetti, an independent retirement and investment specialty firm founded in 2003, will be the presenting sponsor of Camp Casco’s Campfires & Cocktails fundraiser. The event will take place from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. on Thursday, November 19, 2026, at the UMass Club on the 32nd floor of One Beacon Street in Boston. Proceeds will support Camp Casco’s work to provide free camp experiences for children affected by cancer and their siblings.

Camp Casco gives children facing cancer a chance to step away from hospitals and treatment and experience the friendships, confidence and joy of summer camp. Its medically supported programs are offered at no cost to families and also include opportunities for siblings, who are affected by a cancer diagnosis in their own way.

“Every child deserves the chance to feel like a kid, especially when cancer has disrupted so much of childhood,” said David Shapiro, regional director of wealth at Johnson Brunetti. “Camp Casco creates that opportunity through experiences filled with friendship, encouragement and fun. We are proud to support that work as the presenting sponsor of Campfires & Cocktails.”

KISS 108 DJ Mikey V will emcee the family-friendly evening, which will feature camp-inspired food and cocktails, activity stations, entertainment, a s’mores bar, and silent and live auctions. All funds raised at the event will help Camp Casco provide its 2027 summer camps free of charge.

“Camp gives children affected by cancer a place where they can be surrounded by people who understand what they are going through and simply enjoy being kids,” said Erin Stern, president/CEO and co-founder of Camp Casco. “Johnson Brunetti’s support will help us give more children and siblings a safe, joyful week of friendship and belonging at no cost to their families. We are grateful to welcome Johnson Brunetti as the presenting sponsor of Campfires & Cocktails.”

In addition to its support of Camp Casco, Johnson Brunetti sponsors and volunteers with nonprofits serving children and veterans. Each Johnson Brunetti employee completes four hours of community service per quarter with a nonprofit in one of the communities the company serves. Johnson Brunetti employees also volunteered with Camp Casco this past summer.

  • A learning-rich environment with play-based spaces and an indoor gross motor area supporting physical and social development 
  • Convenient access near I-293 for families throughout greater Manchester and surrounding communities 
  • An experienced clinical leadership team with a long history of supporting children and families with autism 

Manchester’s Center Director, Aimee Morrison, brings over 10 years of experience with BCI.

“Starting ABA therapy is an important step for a family, and we want parents to know that they don’t have to wait to begin that conversation with us,” Dr. Van Nostrand said. “Our Manchester team is ready to meet families, learn about their child, and help determine how we can best support their goals. We look forward to becoming part of the Manchester community and helping every child in our care build skills for success in school and life.”

“Relocating for a month or for your next chapter can create a lot of anxiety,” said Mark Silverman, founder of Mark’s Moving & Storage. “We want our customers to know they don’t have to manage every detail themselves. Each customer is assigned a dedicated project manager who heralds them through point to point. Our well-trained, professional crews take care of the packing, the heavy lifting and the setup, helping make the entire experience as smooth and comfortable as possible.”

Burnout and Anxiety?  Corporate Detox Provides Energy Reset from Cubicle to Corner Office.

The day-to-day grind can take its toll.  Relationships suffer, health is spotty, sleep is interrupted. Something is off and has to change.

The new “Corporate Detox” program is a private mentorship for women who are ready to break up with the corporate conditioning that’s taught them to override themselves.

Kristy Cerullo, MBA, the founder of Dark Moon Energy Work, developed and leads the program. She helps give a voice to the energies that keep women stuck, cause physical pain, or prevent healthy relationships so that they can move past them and lead more fulfilled lives.

Corporate Detox helps untangle the complicated dynamic between women’s bodies and their work lives – which seem to often be at odds with each other.

Many women have been rewarded for rooting themselves in corporate patterns around productivity, but their body is telling them something has to change. Some have already left corporate, but realize they brought the same patterns with them. Or maybe they want something different but can’t yet imagine how to make it financially or practically possible.

“I help women understand how their energy is actually operating in their day-to-day life so they can work in the flow of it, instead of ‘pushing through,’” explained Cerullo. “Women find me when they’re really ready to understand and shift the energetic patterns behind burnout, anxiety, and over-giving so daily life feels sustainable again.”

Cerullo earned an MBA and rose to director-level positions in corporate marketing. While her career took off, her body was keeping score, and she suffered with chronic pain, TMJ, and reproductive health issues.

Cerullo refocused her energy on herself and found a better path through intuitive development and energy healing work, which she now shares with others. She completed her clairvoyant training through Energy Matters Academy as well as her Advanced Female Intuitive Training through Radiant Yin. She is also a certified Jin Shin Jyutsu Practitioner and co-founder of Psychic School, LLC.

Corporate Detox private mentorship includes a 75-minute 1-on-1 session every month designed to break up with the version of work that taught you to override yourself.  The program also include access to Dark Moon Energy Work’s resource library of curated meditations and energy healings to support the individual between sessions. Individuals are welcome to stay as long as they want the support. A 6-week Corporate Detox: Reset program is also available for those who want to explore this topic in a group setting.

Dark Moon Energy Works offers a range of energy healing resources to help people understand and connect with their personal energy field. Kristy Cerullo is a grounded, experienced teacher who uses a combination of meditation, visualization, movement, creative arts, and hands-on techniques to help her clients activate their own self-healing abilities. Cerullo centers ethics and healthy energetic boundaries in her practice, helping people develop a deeper trust in their own intuition rather than looking outside themselves for answers. 

Based in Basking Ridge, New Jersey, Dark Moon Energy Works helps women both locally and afar. For additional information, visit www.DarkMoonEnergyWork.com.
