Thank You for Attending! ✰

Welcome to the informational page for our 29th Annual Client Event, which also marked our second LIVE virtual event! We mixed it up in 2021 and you heard from three knowledgeable panelists. They discussed the topics at the top of everyone's minds when they thought of the 2021 economy... inflation, interest rates, politics, and the stock market. As we do every year, we thank you for your support and trust as our team strives to deliver the best possible service for all our clients, present and future.

At Paul R. Ried Financial Group, LLC, our mission is simple; we want to empower each client to focus on what matters most to them, so they can life to the fullest. The COVID-19 pandemic had continued to negatively impact millions of lives, shifting their focus to questions that should have easy answers: Will I be able to pay rent? Is there food on the table? Is my family safe and healthy? As we did for our 2020 Client Economic Outlook Event, we wanted to strengthen our local community with charitable donations so everyone could get back to living life to the fullest.

These organizations are ones we have established long-term relationships with as they provide critical care, resources, transportation, and smiles - all of which had been in short supply since the pandemic began in 2020. We firmly believe to be involved in the causes and charities that are important to our clients and staff. As Paul mentioned during our program, we made a donation representing each of the 482 attendees to these charities. When this was first announced, it was $30 per attendee, and we had a surprise... We doubled our commitment to $60 per attendee! That is $28,920 that our clients helped put towards four amazing causes.

• Au†o Angels: Au†o Angels is an all-volunteer ministry committed to meeting the transportation needs for those unable to meet those needs themselves within the BelPres Community and several affiliated nonprofit organizations. This includes low-cost repairs, distribution of donated cars, and mentoring youth about automobile safety and maintenance.
  
  
• Community Health Care of Pierce County: Community Health Care's mission is to "Provide the highest quality health care with compassionate and accessible service for all". No one is denied care due to an inability to pay. Services are provided through Family Medical and Dental Clinics at the Hilltop Regional Health Center in Tacoma as well as clinics in Spanaway, Parkland, and Lakewood.
  
  
• Union Gospel Mission (Seattle, WA): Seattle’s Union Gospel Mission provides emergency care and long-term recovery services to hurting and homeless people in the Greater Seattle Area. Services provided include hot meals, safe shelter, and other essentials to provide for a person's basic needs. Their mission "is to bring the love of Jesus and hope for a new life to our homeless neighbors."
  
  
• Seattle Seafair Clowns: The Seattle Seafair Clowns Organization entertains thousands of people at neighborhood parades and festivals and are an integral part of Seattle’s Seafair Celebration for over 50 years. They are Seattle’s “Year-round Seafair Ambassadors”. They visit nursing homes, hospitals, and care centers throughout the Puget Sound Region. Their travel takes them throughout Washington, Oregon, British Columbia, and Mexico, as well.

We also sponsored these other events for three notable organizations in 2021:

• Annual Benefit Golf Tournament - Dove House Advocacy Services (August 27th)
