Get Organized Seminar at Richmond Memorial Library
by Donna Finocchiaro

On Monday, January 8th, NAPO member Donna Finocchiaro presented a seminar on getting organized for the New Year. NAPO is the National Association of Professional Organizers and its members offer free workshops to the public each January for GO (Get Organized) Month. The seminar included tips for being organized at home, in the car and during travel. One tip for the home included creating a system for controlling papers that enter the home. Easy storage and access to to school papers and bills were discussed. Cars should also be organized allowing us to access necessary items such as cell phone, sun glasses and maps when we need them. For unexpected trips, break downs or inclement weather, keep a toiletry bag packed and in your vehicle at all times.

Donna and her business partner, Kristin offer workshops to the public at their retail store in Guilford and in each of their communities.
