Young Professionals Member of the Month
Bridgette M. Bennett was named the Young Professionals Member of the Month for May. Bridgette has been an immigration attorney for the past five years, thought she never seriously considered becoming an attorney until 2008.

After living in Washington, D.C. for a few years, Bridgette relocated to Groveland in 2005 to be with her ill mother, and after fighting her husband's deportation case for eight years, Bridgette decided to attend law school full time in the summer of 2008, with the goal of helping others who were facing deportation.

May 20th Monthly Breakfast
Kalena Meyers with Julie and Bob Bennett.
It was great to see everyone at the breakfast last week. The PUR Clinic was the breakfast sponsor and did a presentation on men's health and why they are driving across the country to promote it. This year's Drive for Men's Health will kick off on June 9 at South Lake Hospital at 7 a.m. and they will spend the next week and two days driving across the country, eventually ending up in Los Angeles on June 18.

Dr. Stanley Sidor, the new president of Lake-Sumter State College, spoke to the breakfast attendees about what the college is doing in the community and Bob and Julie Bennett were awarded the Gem of the Hills for their work at the Loaves and Fishes Food Pantry at the United Methodist Church in Montverde.
