Teach Us Something: Guitar Edition

Teach Us Something: How to Start Playing Guitar
Welcome back to another episode of Teach Us Something, a video series in which YOU share your passions and hobbies with the rest of us! We’re thrilled to introduce Milford agent Larry Schoenberger, a long-time guitarist and today’s Teacher!
Larry learned how to play the guitar at 16 after several kids at his high school started forming bands (he may have also been influenced by seeing the rock band Boston in concert). When he’s not at RDI, you can often find Larry in his studio, arranging music and experimenting with other instruments besides the guitar. But guitar was his introduction to music, and though it was difficult learning various scales and musical theory, he loves being able to rock out. Check out the video above for more tips and tricks on playing the guitar!

Giving Thanks and Gobbling Goodies at Potlucks
Check out True Blue and Milford's Thanksgiving potluck celebrations below
This Thanksgiving season, Milford and True Blue celebrated with incredible potlucks filled with delicious food and warm camaraderie. At True Blue, eight different potlucks brought teams together to share meals and reflect on what they’re grateful for. Over in Milford, the community spirit shone brightly as leaders and team members went above and beyond, contributing side dishes, desserts, and even four whole turkeys. This year’s Milford potluck marked the largest gathering since before the pandemic, showcasing the strength and generosity of our RDI family. Thank you to everyone who made these events so memorable—your efforts truly highlight the spirit of the season!
