The Daily Claims
Wow, March madness is already here!!!! We are getting ready for the SEC tournament and then
the Big Dance!!!!! This is always a great time of year in Kentucky!!!!
Great things are also going with the BGCA. We have a location and date for our golf outing and
we’re looking into doing another Habitat house later this year.
We had a great meeting last month with 80 people in attendance. I can’t believe we have packed
the house the last two meetings. Please consider asking others in our industry to join us at the
March meeting. They may be potential new members or folks that have not had the opportunity to
attend regular meetings. This is a great time to socialize with others within our industry, share a
meal and listen to a speaker that’s relevant to our industry.
We have talked with John at Equestrian Woods and he will be
adjusting the meeting room so that we can get more people in the
main meeting room, which will make it better for all of us.
Please take a minute to look through the newsletter, there are
scholarship opportunities, CE opportunities, dates of upcoming
events and lots more.
I look forward to seeing you all at the March meeting!!
Teresa
