Some gather with family. Some attend ceremonies. Some spend the day quietly reflecting. Some are working, caregiving, or keeping their businesses running.

However you mark the day, its meaning remains rooted in remembrance: honoring the service members who gave their lives for our country.

We recognize the courage, sacrifice, and legacy of those who served.

As we move through today, may we do so with gratitude, respect, and care for one another.

From all of us at LRC, we wish you a meaningful Memorial Day.

In observance of Memorial Day, LRC’s office will be closed on Monday, May 25, 2026.

Regular business hours will resume on Tuesday, May 26, 2026.

As we recognize this important holiday, we honor and remember the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice while serving our country. We are grateful for their courage, dedication, and the freedoms their service helped protect.

Thank you for your understanding. We wish you and your loved ones a safe and meaningful Memorial Day.

Sincerely,
The LRC Team

Mother’s Day is Sunday, May 10 — and one of the most meaningful gifts you can give could come supporting a local business. 💐

As we recognize National Small Business Week, we’re reminded that small businesses are more than storefronts. They create jobs, build culture, strengthen neighborhoods, and keep dollars circulating in our community.

This Mother’s Day, consider gifting Mom something made, curated, baked, brewed, styled, or experienced right here in the Milwaukee area.

Here are a few local businesses to support:

In addition to the structured entrepreneurship series, Sharpe will also provide Entrepreneur Drop-In Hours - free one-on-one support for your business idea, side hustle, startup, or growing business.
