This month we would like to give a special thank you to our management and construction partner, Marlyn Development.  We are honored to have partners like Marlyn that share our values and commitment to excellence.    

 

Sincerely,

Marlyn Development on the Job
Team Members at Marlyn Development work behind the scenes to make sure our communities are built with the resident in mind.  They build as if they are building for themselves and that stand alone quality is hard to find. Thank you for all that you do!
 

Operation School Supplies 

Operation School Supplies is a program that was created by our CEO, Wendell Franklin, in 2007 to provide school supplies to the children of residents of participating TFJG communities. It is designed for children attending kindergarten through middle school during the upcoming school year. Each child receives a backpack full of supplies before the school year begins. Our teams make the shopping easy for the parents and excite the children in anticipation of a new school year.

"Strike" Up Fun!

The Richmond Team came together to strike up a great time at Uptown Alley. They enjoyed food, fun and a friendly yet competitive game of bowling to let off some steam.

Caught In The Act!
"Dear Diana,

As I reflect on this past year and all the changes in my life, I must say thank you to all who have made this move such a blessing. You and Ashley, David, Stephanie and Jayne are so caring and considerate. Moving from a two story house to a two bedroom apartment seemed impossible but it was a wonderful decision. Thanks for helping me find "home."
