As we start a new week, we move forward, asking, “What Would Ben Coe Do?” … When you do that, you know your week will be starting on the right foot. Here’s to you, Ben!

MONDAY MOTIVATION: With tears and laughter, we remembered the life of our Founder, Ben Coe, over the weekend. One of the sweetest moments of his celebration of life was seeing these cards on display, reminiscent of the sign in Executive Director Sam Purington’s office.

We've learned those who are unable to attend tomorrow's service will be able to watch it streamed live from the Trinity Episcopal Church Facebook page and a Facebook account is not needed. Here is the link: facebook.com/trinitywaterto….

Just a reminder that the funeral service for Ben Coe will take place tomorrow at Trinity Episcopal Church, Watertown, beginning at 11 a.m.

MEMORIES OF A MENTOR: Our own Sam Purington reflects on his memory of founder and friend Ben Coe and how he helped him become the executive director he is today. Check out the touching tribute here by Mark Mason Jr. of @7newswatertown here: bit.ly/WWNY-Remembers…
