Hello Everyone,

Join us Tomorrow for an exciting double feature!  Tony DiGiacomo and Beth DiGiacomo. Tony, Manager at EthosEnergy, will share fascinating insights into generator theory and showcase real-world projects from power plants across the Western Hemisphere. It’s a unique peek behind the scenes of a vital industry!

Beth DiGiacomo will introduce us to Homes for Heroes, a heartfelt program launched after 9/11 to give back to the everyday heroes in our community—first responders, military, healthcare professionals, and more. Beth is the only realtor in San Juan County who offers this incredible service.

Don’t miss this inspiring and informative program!
 

Last week we had the privilege of hearing about Marsha Rutledge’s experiences at four of the Tiger Reserves in India.  She showed several close up slides of the tigers taken from the open-air jeeps.

 Welcome to last week’s Guests!

Tana McCall, Account Executive with Hutton Broadcasting was also our guest last Thursday.

Thanks to those who volunteered last Friday to move library books from one location at EthosEnergy to another of their buildings.  We had many books donated so we will be ready to make more libraries going to English speaking countries in Africa in the near future.
