*BARBARA BROWN. Thanks are due to board members at large KATIE, **ART, and MARK, and especially GLEN WIELAND, who provided the use of his lovely home. Members, please keep JOHN KOBLYNSKI in your thoughts, as he lost his mother last week. Ladies, tomorrow night is LORI FARREL’s annual wine party. Please bring a bottle of grape and a monetary donation. A drawing will be held and the winner will be given the cash to donate to her favorite charity.*

*Happy birthday to BECKY GAINES and SCOTT SIMMONS, who are both celebrating soon. *

*ANNA SPENCER presented a fascinating member brief today. ANNA is one of three members of her group, A.T. Spencer Law. She was born and raised in Orlando, and has two children with her husband Brett, named Luke and Grace. ANNA’s firm handles all civil law including divorce, wills, trusts, and estates. ANNA especially enjoys ‘elder law’ which encompasses helping people meet their needs as their lives change. She helps families reduce stress in the thick of tense situations. It was inspiring to hear ANNA say that the practice she has now is the practice she hopes to have in 30 years. What a joy to see someone do exactly what she wants to be doing! Thanks, ANNA! *

*DR. KAHN spends much of his time treating patients with head, neck, and jaw pain, but also provides general dentistry. He explained the musculature of the jaw, and how headaches behind the eyes are often a symptom of an injury. “It’s all a matter of balance. It’s all a matter of swallowing, and I can fix that.” Thanks, DR. KAHN, for the informative talk, toothbrushes and lip balm!*

We had a few extras this morning for breakfast. Welcome to our guests!

ALEXANDER GRETHE was back again! He lives right here in College Park and does it all when it comes to real estate: commercial, residential, industrial, and property management.

SCOTT PRITCHETT from Old Florida National Bank in College Park also joined us.

CLIFF RIEGER with Coldwell Banker, a resident of Central Florida for 25 years and former special education teacher spent the morning with us. Not only is he a broker, a licensed instructor as well.

Thanks to KEITH TANNER, who gave us an informative member brief. A native Floridian, he works for Insurance Office of America, and handles all things commercial: general liability, worker’s compensation, property, and much more.

When you stand to give your leads, please give your name, business, and business information. It’s great practice for you, and a nice reminder for all of us, especially guests.

Please keep in mind, the club’s telecom position is still open.

According to DR. SANDRA BARKER, the treasury is looking great. All the bills are paid, and all the dues are in!

Happy birthday to MARY LOU SOLE,

JANE SIMMONS, and DANIELLE SIMMONS. MICKEY MERCER’s club anniversary is this month, though she’s still waiting on her free trip to Paris from GWEN.

Come on out to an IDEA Club Happy Hour tomorrow at Wildside in College Park. Their food is delicious, and the company will be hard to beat!
