 Brian Simon was our speaker today. He works at Alliance Financial Group. He asked us "how do we address real problems?" and that led to a discussion on how we need to work together and learn to talk to one another. He presented his thoughts on 6 Foundations; Fair, Caring, Loyalty, Authority, Sanctity, and Liberty. You can contact Brian 239-561-2900 or by email
