Developing and managing the future of apartment living

Dear FJG Family,

There is no greater reward than working from your heart, and making a difference. If there are any causes dear to you, please let us know so that we can participate in some manner in the future.
Looking forward to seeing all of you at the 8th Annual JT Walk & Beach Party at the oceanfront. Let's STOMP ALS!

Sincerely,

Day of Caring
Our team members went above and beyond this month by supporting United Way of South Hampton Roads Day of Caring. TFJG and many other United Way partner companies volunteered around the community all the same day to assist various projects - painting, landscaping, cleaning etc. - to make our cities a better and more beautiful place to live. The four organizations were the VA Beach Dept. of Human Services (8 spots), Samaritan House (6 spots), the Boys and Girls Club of SE VA (5 spots), and Tarrallton Elementary (4 spots).
Thank you to all team members for your support to the United Way!

First day of Fall
Fall has arrived, marketing the time of year when day and night are of equal length. To celebrate, TFJG kicked off the first day of fall with a Inaugural Chili Cook Off. In lieu of a fee to enter a chili or eat - TFJG collected food items for the food bank. There were a total of 7 chili cooks - Melissa Pullin, Pete Sheeran, Michelle Largent, Kathy Johnson, Christen Faatz, Cherie James and Stephanie Bertucci. With a very close vote, Congratulations to Cherie James for winning TFJG's BEST OVERALL CHILI FALL 2015!

Volunteers of the Month
The way a neighborhood looks and feels when you walk or drive around it from its setting, its buildings, and its flavor, can make all the difference. Our team has the chance to volunteer each month to help pick up trash around the Roland Park neighborhood in Norfolk, VA.
