 On
Thursday, June 19, 2008 the Marlborough Business Association held its
monthly meeting, welcoming featured guest speaker, State Senator Mary Ann
Handley. The meeting was co-hosted by the Marlborough Health Care Center and
Koreen Ryan of Ryan Mortgage. Senator Handley began by saying that,
“Although the Hartford Courant called this a ‘do nothing’ session, the
Legislature worked hard this year to correct errors made on previous bills,
continue with the budget already in place and increase town aid to help
relieve property taxes.” She stressed the changes that were made to the
criminal justice system and highlighted her attendance at several Bill
signings, one being for SB 5577 (An Act Concerning Responsible Lending and
Economic Security) providing a “broad spectrum of help” to home owners
during this mortgage crisis. Senator Handley also took questions from the
group about the mortgage crisis, the entity tax and reviews of Medicaid. The
meeting wrapped up with a networking segment, allowing all in attendance to
highlight themselves and their businesses.

MBA Member of the Month – August 2008
It’s So Ranunculus ~ Blooming
with Creativity
Get ready to be dazzled! When you walk into
It’s So Ranunculus, Marlborough’s treasured
florist, you are greeted by a selection of unique decorating and
gift items, and beautifully displayed flowers of all shapes,
colors and textures. Next, you are welcomed by Leah Miner and
Craig Robinson, the energetic daughter and father team who
launched It’s So Ranunculus in April 2006 and began a
journey that has already touched their valued clients and their
community in such positive ways.
When asked about the name It’s So
Ranunculus, Leah mentioned the “independent nature” of the
ranunculus flower and the “inspirational curves of its stem.”
Both aspects of this flower truly help define the unique floral
arrangements created by this talented and sought-after design
team. “Many times clients come to us because they want
something different, although they may not know exactly what
they want,” offers Leah. And that’s where the fun begins: “Leah
has a natural talent to connect with the client, decipher their
needs and spin her creative and design flair to consistently wow
them,” beams her father and business partner, Craig. The
combination of Craig’s business management and administration
background and Leah’s floral design experience has created a
powerful team that shines with creativity and extraordinary
client service. Craig also credits his wife Marla and their
family, whose support and encouragement make this journey
possible and so enjoyable.
