HERE’S THE SCOOP…
A UNIQUE APPROACH TO MONEY MANAGEMENT WITH DEREK MAZZARELLA
Derek Mazzarella, CFP® is the kind of guy you could chat with about anything all day. The Gateway Financial Partners Financial Advisor started his career out of college in insurance, but soon made the transition to financial services and has built a client base that hires him for his sound, yet unconventional advice about how to invest your money. His new book, Just Retire Already: An Unconventional Retirement Guide uses jokes, analogies and real-life anecdotes to explain complex financial topics in a simplified way. He loves celebrating his client's wins, accomplishments and milestones (ex: wedding, baby, vacation home). His financial plan is straightforward and focused. He helps clients establish core values, get financially organized, gain clarity about where they are financially now and where they want to go. Then, they set up action items moving forward. Coordination with other experts (CPAs, Mortgage Brokers, Estate Planning Attorneys, etc) gives clients a look at the bigger picture of their finances. His work has gained him the Five Star Wealth Manager accolade in CT and MA. On the personal side....and we LOVE this...during college, Derek was the mascot of his alma mater, Bryant University (a bulldog). He now lives with his wife and two boys in Glastonbury. Find him HERE or check out his hilarious and valuable book HERE.

SIGNATURE GALA TO RAISE MONEY FOR STATE-OF-THE-ART PROJECTS
For the more than two decades, The Glastonbury Education Foundation has been raising money for numerous STEAM programs and projects throughout Glastonbury.

And that's just this year!!! In the 21 years since it was founded, the non-profit has been the driving force behind the state-of-the-art television studio at Glastonbury High School, the greenhouse at Gideon Welles School, and the CREST Lab at Glastonbury High School.
