It is already March and time is flying by so quickly. We had a successful golf outing, in large part to a tremendous group of volunteers spearheaded by board member Jill Andrew. Both the January and February luncheons were well attended, and we are off to a great start.

I have met many of you and my goal is to personally meet or make contact with you by the end of the year. I need your help! Come up to me at the luncheons or any event and please introduce yourself. We

have so many wonderful members and I want to know each and every one of you. Lastly, let me know how we can improve.

Have a blessed and successful month, and Erin go Brau!

2016 President,

Dr. Bryan Thatcher

Trustee Members:

Our members enjoyed a farm fresh breakfast at The Florida State Fairgrounds on February 4th. They leisurely “grazed” to their hearts content on all the wonderful food grown by Florida farmers. Several leaders in Florida agriculture were also in attendance.

Corey brings over 20 years of experience to the Tampa Bay small business community, and specializes in small business accounting, loan packaging and, strategic business planning. His experience while “in the trenches” managing his own small businesses, and serving in Tallahassee at the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity, has allowed him to deliver a unique perspective and a wealth of knowledge to Riverview business owners. Call (813) 234-5944 today to schedule a complimentary one-on-one consultation with him.
