As we hop into the Easter weekend, did you know that...

The Easter bunny tradition originated in Germany, where it was known as the "Easter hare".
Easter is the second-largest candy-consuming holiday in the US, after Halloween.

The world's largest Easter egg was over 25 feet tall and weighed over 8,000 pounds.
Wow, that's a lot of chocolate and egg-cellent fun!

Wishing you all a hoppy Easter and a fantastic Friday!🥚"

Happy Friday Everyone! I hope everyone took advantage of whatever springtime weather showed up in your town this week.

To Celebrate International Women’s Day and Women’s History Month I have a fun credit card fact.

In 1950 the first credit card with issued – it was called the Diner’s Club card. Frank McNamara conjured up the idea when he was in New York for dinner and had forgot his wallet at home. He and his business partner Ralph

Schneider would invent the Diners Club as a way to pay without carrying cash.

BUT

It wasn’t until 1974 with the passing of the Equal Credit Opportunity Act that a women could be issued a credit card.

Today:
• US women have open more credit card accounts (4.5) compared to US men (3.6)
• US men have a higher credit card balance ($6,357) compared to US women ($6,232) on average
• The average credit score for US women is 704 compared to 705 for US men
• 2012 there was an Amendment to the CARD Act – the amendment allowed for stay-at-home mothers to access credit on their own. Women were recognized to have an equal share in the household income which would allow her to be extended credit.

What a great point to celebrate - hope everyone like it!!

Have a fantastic weekend Everyone!

In today's world, where technology like AI is everywhere, some things might seem old-fashioned. But recently, something happened at Dollar Tree that showed how important checks can still be, even with all the new tech. And we'll sprinkle in a little flavor from some cool Zoom products too!

At Dollar Tree, someone wanted to pay with a check. It's not something you see every day, especially when we're used to swiping cards or using phones to pay. But it happened, and it made us think about the good old days when checks were more common.

The cashier had to take a moment to make sure everything was okay. In a world where companies like Zoom make cool features to help people work together better, seeing someone write a check felt kind of different.

But what happened next was nice. The cashier carefully checked the check to make sure it was real. It took a bit longer, but it was worth it. It felt like a special moment, where two people connected over something simple, like a piece of paper.

Even though we have all fancy tools from venture like Zoom to help us work better and make collaboration and project / event management seamless, the moment at Dollar Tree showed that old-fashioned things like checks still have their place. It reminded us that even with all the new tech, it's the little human moments that matter most.

It's about the connection between two Entities.

And maybe they are using some cool Zoom tools at work too!

Hope everyone is progressing the week in a great fashion!!

Warm Regards
