A visit with Ken Parks

Today, I went to lunch with Ken Parks of Main Street Properties. Then we looked at a model home in the Maple Oaks subdivision by Henry Company Homes. The subdivision is just North of 10 Mile Road and East of Highway 29.



This was also an opportunity to showcase the resources of Youtube, Facebook and Blogger and how easily they can be used to further one's business.

Sheriff David Morgan presentation to Pensacola Biz Net

For those of you that missed it, we had the Sheriff speak to us in August. A great deal was learned and more than a few who were there said it was an exceptional presentation. Although the sound is a bit shallow... you might find his presentation useful.



Pensacola is a great place to conduct business because our public servants are accessible and accountable.

Veterans Dive Locker

Several weeks ago Dan Anderson gave our group a presentation on his program to help blind veterans scuba dive. It was quite a interesting presentation. Here is a little more on the subject. A video from their website Veterans Dive Locker.



Dan needs help with several parts of the program, from raising money for a handicap accessible boat to dive buddies to presenting the program to the community. Feel free to contact him through the website.

Sheriff David Morgan speaks to Pensacola Biz Net - August 4th

Our Sheriff will be addressing us again. It's been a few years since he last visited and a great deal of things have changed... for the better! Sheriff Morgan will be talking about innovative things the Sheriff's office has done to reduce budgets, increase efficiency and deter crime all while bringing the community together and partnering with other offices to deliver more with less. Sheriff Morgan has used the team approach, given most of the credit of his success to the team of people around him. Quite an achievement and something that could be applied to business for sure.
