2. Stephen Melnyk: I've enjoyed 17 years working in the financial services industry, 11 years of which were in the client-facing role of a Relationship Manager for business clients offering their employees full service retirement plan products, such as 401(k)s, profit sharing plans, and money purchase plans.I have a broad, deep, and varied expertise with all aspects of retirement plan client servicing, ranging from understanding plan record keeping detail to reviewing compliance testing and 5500 reporting, from assisting plan auditors, to conducting enrollment meetings providing guidance for employees and presenting investment reviews to employers.
I serviced clients with plans ranging in asset size from $1 million to those above $20 million, and the business types I serviced vary from banks, insurance companies, law firms and medical offices, to injection mold factories, print shops, trucking companies, utilities, newspapers, and casinos.I’m extremely enthused to have the opportunity to continue my career providing premier client service in the financial services industry as a financial adviser to both business owners and individuals. The core of my role is providing exceptional customer service resulting in high client satisfaction, and my calm, friendly personality and issue solution proficiency are key to achieving high client retention. I reflect on my time while being a stay-at-home dad for my son and daughter as a life enriching experience, as my wife and I journeyed 8 years to happily become parents through adoption twice in just a span of 6 months. Very actively participating as they became little individuals while they started their way through grammar school was treasured time. I also gained first-hand experience with life planning issues of folks in career transition and I hope to bring the lessons I learned to bear in helping others as so many good folks in our area reached out to assist me, and I want to pay it forward when I can. contact his offices at Merrill Lynch for further info: 1241 PITSFORD-VICTOR ROAD PITSFORD , NY 14534 : 1-800 MERRILL

The Genesee Reading series presents MJ IUPPA and Celeste Helene Schanz
MJ IUPPA Poet in residence at ST. John Fisher College And director of their ARTS MINOR program. MJ Has held this position at Fisher for at least the last six years and has been widely accepted as " One of if not THE single best creative writing/poetry inrstrutors at the college level anywhere in the greater Rochester area!" for at least the last three years She is also a fine page based poet herself and specializes in the Elegy form but also uses Cinqan and Iambic Pentameter frequently. She has also been one of the principle leaders of
the workshops produced for the members of the Just Poets organization since the group was founded. I received the bulk of my own page form training from these workshops largely from her.
Based on this I can say she is easily the equivalent of some of my performance poetry mentors such as : Otis Solomon of the WATTS PROPHETS PERFORMANCE TROUPE, TELEPOETICS FOUNDER MERLINE M. MURPHY, PETER COCA, MICHEAL C.FORD, S.A. GRIFFIN AND HIS CARMA BUMS TROUPE, JACK MICHELIN AND LAWRENCE FERLINGHETTI and if you think she can teach, just wait till you hear her read!
Celeste Helene Schantz: Has been participating in these same workshops with MJ for a while now . From what she's shared there, she clearly has what it takes! However, clearly the pieces she has shared have been "in development"and may not have been her best examples at the time. There are a number of other events that conflict with the readings series the group runs so I don't make it there too often and have not yet heard Celeste give a true reading. This will be my first chance to do so too so I won't try and influence you other that the fact that MJ is willing to read with her and that has to tell you something doesn't it?
This event will be held at Writer's and Books:740 University Ave. Rochester,NY 14607-1259.
You have the date and time. Don't Miss this one! I'm not sure who is in June but please also come back on July 9th 2013 when the series will host poets Marie Starr and "Laughing" Larry Berger (AKA: ME!) and see if we measure up!
See you next time!
