:: NEW YORK :: NEW YEAR! ::

Clients want to start of the new year and new decade FRESH and so does Garrison Concierge! 

2020 announcements, thus far…

Garrison Concierge has tweaked the Policies & Procedures, with a few minor changes. One of the changes is that a new Senior Discount has been added. If you are 60 years of age or older, you qualify for this new discounted hourly rate.

The “Frequent Session Card” that was offered to clients years ago has been revived as of January 2020. For more information on how to be eligible to use the card, please review the Policies & Procedures link above.

January is National GO Month! (GO= Get Organized) Please visit the Cheerful Strength site to learn about the Collect, Cling & Covet: The Emotions of Clutter program set for Monday, January 27th at 7:00pm. If you click on this Programs link, scroll down to program number GC023 to find a description for this in-depth workshop. You can register on the site or call Hilary Oak at 845-723-1314

Speaking of programs, though there are already 31 programs already available on the  Programs Page, there are new programs currently being developed that will be added to the list by early Spring 2020.

There is also a new service called Sole Focus Programs, which is now being offered as of January 2020. Certain programs found on the Programs Page list can now be presented as one-on-one sessions in the comfort of one’s own home or other quiet, uninterrupted meeting space. This type of private program request is set at a flat fee of $30. Each Soul Focus Program runs for an hour with client having the full attention, rather than having to share time with attendees in a public setting. On the Programs Page, please look for the special orange SFP code at the end of the description of the program to determine whether or not it is available for a private session.

2020

A new year and a new decade to start fresh down a new road, working toward new goals!

OCTOBER SPEAKING PRESENTATION

Garrison Concierge will offer a program called New Parent Basics on Wednesday, October 30, 2019 at 1pm at the Howland Public Library in Beacon. This program is great for expectant parents and/or parents of pre-schoolers. Here is the program description.

NEW PARENT BASICS: When becoming a new parent, it’s vital to be as organized as possible. With so much to learn and experience while caring for infants through pre-schoolers, keeping a balance in all daily routines is key. This program focuses on what items to have on hand at all times, what situations to avoid and how to take care of both the child and the parent in order to keep stress levels down to a minimum. There will be full discussions about preparations for expecting a baby all the way through preparing for a child’s first day of pre-school. There will be a lot of information covered about the importance of being well organized for medical reasons, school preparations and various types of emergencies.

Summer Approaches…

As the Organizing Industry Changes… So Shall Garrison Concierge…

Again, thank you so very much. ~ ~ ~

New Announcements for 2018!

So they say… “One must spring ahead!”

As this year started off with a long-term medical emergency of a family member, Garrison Concierge was forced to take an extended break by lowering client visits substantially. It was during this break that new ideas and considerations were made for the future of the business.

After long and careful thought, it was finally decided that since Garrison Concierge was striving for a new level in a different direction, remaining a member of NAPO no longer seems that it will serve any purpose. As 2018 marks nineteen years of being in the organizing industry, fourteen of those years have been as a member of NAPO. In the beginning, NAPO was a great way to meet other professional organizers, study in special classes, try out and evaluate new products and receive discounts for certain services and supplies. However, as so many years have past, those benefits have dwindled down to the mere use of a logo.

After further consideration, the idea of supporting a logo that is not widely recognized no longer seems practical. Therefore, the final decision was to depart from the group and the logos shall soon disappear from this website.

Other ideas have also been conceived over the past few weeks in order to keep service offerings fresh and to maintain a smooth flow of business procedures. Please stay tuned for more announcements about services and workshops. Meanwhile, please visit the Policies & Procedures page for slight updates.

Thank you to all who have been so very understanding and helpful during the past three months of such a drastic situation. Your compassion, patience and advice is duly noted!!
