Each week two people get in front of the group to speak about their business, and give their sales force ideas to gain  new clients and leads.  Our first speaker was George Scherbak, Harvey Insurance, carrying an umbrella to the front of the room and talking about.....Umbrella Policies for Insurance! Using real life situations sobered the group to really consider contacting George to see if their situation is covered.  " Ask someone you trust" is what George requests, and he delivers!

George Slata, MAG Home Maintenance Services, informed the group that experience is what counts when doing a job.  Older homes have a personality of their own, and being familiar with their structures is very important.  If a contractor doesnt understand that older homes need a little more attention, sometimes there is more harm than good.  George Slata has the experience to tackle temperamental home repairs.

Thayer Smith, Our newest member and Architectural Renovation Artist, gave a wonderful inpromtpu talk about what he does.  It its apparent he loves his work, and came through the ranks learning from the masters of his trade. His creativitiy shows in all he does putting Longwood Gardens Music Room and many other renovations he has done on his list. Plaster, poloymers, ironwork, and historican restorations are his fancy and he's good!

Nominations for the board were taken, and the new board will be voted in and up and running April 1st.
