The Digest

Community Center Memberships now open

You can now pre-purchase your Community Center membership. Doing this will get your name placed on a permanent display in the center when it opens + an invite to their grand opening. Which is a pretty neat way to be a part of local history. If you do sign up, you’ll pay a joining fee and won’t be charged again until it opens this November.

Community Clubs

Last Friday, about 68% of you voted yes to figuring out how to do some kind of community-led clubs. There were a lot of great suggestions on types of groups - especially for new to the area looking to make friends.

So let’s explore bringing this to life! It will not be possible without community help.

If you want to help lead a group, please email me or reply to this with your idea, and how you think we should run that group.

If you’re a local business interested in offering your space or support, please contact me and let’s discuss how you can help.

The 2025 Seed Library is open 🪴

A hack for having a thriving Indiana garden is taking advantage of the free local seed library the library does every year.

Starting today, you’ll find vegetables, herbs, and flowers that need to be planted indoors before making their way outside.

Starting March 3 their full collection of including fruits and native grass will be available. The library also labels the plants by difficulty level so you can choose plants that you’ll find the most success with.

Money Snacks: Early 30s IT professional making $85K questions loyalty over job hopping  💵 

Money Snacks - People Stories is a weekly series showing how people in Fishers/Hamilton County approach money. You will see a variety of approaches and stories. Participate.

Salary journey: "Steady increases throughout my working career. Staying loyal at my current job has probably caused me not to realize the salary increases I could see by job hopping like some of my peers."

Favorite splurge: "Traveling gives me something to look forward to (especially in dreary Januarys in Indiana) and gives possibilities to make memories with my family."

Investment strategy: Sticks to Roth/traditional 401K and monthly S&P 500 index fund purchases. "Nothing flashy like crypto but my investments have done well for me over the years."

On their mind: "How do I stack up against my peers since this is such a taboo conversation."

Indy Fuel Stay Hot, Snap Mavericks' Streak

The Indy Fuel are turning the new Fishers Event Center into a must-visit spot. Saturday’s game was another sellout, hitting almost 7,000 fans in attendance.

Kyle Maksimovich led the way with two goals, including the game-winner in overtime, as Indy took down Kansas City and ended their six-game winning streak 💪 

Off the ice, the team’s annual sock drive collected over 7,800 pairs for local shelters.

If you haven’t had a chance to try out a game, they have three games coming up. Wednesday night hockey, Valentine’s hockey, and Jurassic Puck. Details here.
