Thanks to everyone who came out for Saturday’s suicide prevention walk. It was a lovely turnout from the IDEA Club and a touching tribute to JOE WISE’s son, CROCKETT.

Mark Gonzales presented his member brief today. Born in San Juan, Mark became a Florida resident at age 10. He graduated from USF and went straight into the mortgage business. The Mortgage Firm has been in business for 17 years, and is a direct lender. Mark says “It’s been a great experience working for this company.” Thanks for sharing your story with us, Mark!

It’s that time of year again! Members,

The ever-handsome and charming BOB SOLE presented his member brief today. Bob does inspections for people both buying and selling homes. He can do thermal imaging, mold inspections, insurance inspections, and wind mitigation inspections. Soon, Bob will add radon inspections to his repertoire, and because of that, we got a little chemistry lesson. Radon is a colorless, odorless gas that is the second leading cause of lung cancer. The EPA suggests that everyone’s home be inspected for radon gas. Thanks for the info, BOB!
