We hope you’ve had a good start to 2015. Here’s a recap of the past week at the firm.

We kicked off the new year with “gratitude” for January’s Word of the Month. What better way to start 2015?

Last weekend we had the opportunity to tour the brand new Bucks County Justice Center. You can take a look around as well, courtesy of this video and report from The Intelligencer.

Our own Dean Arthur and his wife, Jodi, attended the January 8th debut of The Bucks County Bar Association‘s exhibition, “A Judicial Legacy: Portraits from the Bucks County Courts Collection” at the James A. Michener Art Museum. The exhibition runs through February 8.

It’s also time to cast your vote for the Bucks County Courier Times and The Intelligencer’s 2014 Do-Gooder. There are many worthy organizations in the running to win $5,000 in public service advertising, including our friends at Pennridge FISH. Learn more about it and cast your vote here.

The Weber Kracht and Chellew Word of the Month Is…Gratitude

By

In December we started to share our Word of the Month. Choosing a word to focus on each month helps us as a team and as individuals, personally and professionally.

The word for January 2015 is “gratitude” and is defined as “the quality of being thankful; readiness to show appreciation for and to return kindness.” As you go about your business today, think about how gratitude can be a part of every interaction. Maybe it means taking a moment to close a client email with a line or two thanking them for their business or taking a moment to thank a coworker for a recent act of thoughtfulness. It could be as simple as giving a cashier eye contact next time you make a Wawa run. Try it and let us know in the comments how it impacts your day.

Before You Post That Facebook Copyright Declaration, Read This

It’s a new year but the same online hoaxes are making the rounds. While you were posting photos of your festivities on Facebook over the holidays, you might have seen this:

As of January 5th, 2015 at 6:20 a.m. Eastern standard time, I do not give Facebook or any entities associated with Facebook permission to use my pictures, information, or posts, both past and future. By this statement, I give notice to Facebook it is strictly forbidden to disclose, copy, distribute, or take any other action against me based on this profile and/or its contents. The content of this profile is private and confidential information. The violation of privacy can be punished by law (UCC 1-308- 1 1 308-103 and the Rome Statute). NOTE: Facebook is now a public entity. All members must post a note like this. If you prefer, you can copy and paste this version. If you do not publish a statement at least once it will be tactically allowing the use of your photos, as well as the information contained in the profile status updates. DO NOT SHARE. You MUST copy and paste.

As this ConsumerAffairs.com piece shares, this is not only invalid, it’s unnecessary. Facebook might get on your last nerve with its never-ending newsfeed changes, but in this instance they’re in the clear.

The Year in Review at Weber Kracht and Chellew

By

It’s hard to believe it’s time to say goodbye to 2014.

This year we were proud to serve our community in a number of ways: a Back to School supply drive, sponsoring the Perkasie FallFest 5K, providing pro bono services, helping to present a Child ID event and bringing smiles – and Santa Claus – to the residents of the Belle Haven Nursing Home.

Our attorneys, always eager to help, shared their expertise in the areas of Constitutional law, real estate, non-profits, insurance, estate planning and small business counseling.

We hope you are looking toward 2015 with anticipation and wish you all the best in the coming New Year.

Here Comes Santa Claus!

We hinted on our Facebook page that we were up to something this week. That “something” was a trip to Belle Haven Nursing Home to provide a holiday lunch for the residents. We were even lucky enough to have Santa Claus join us for the fun!
