I hope this email finds you well. I'm happy to report that ABC's office, despite being so close to catastrophic flooding in the Riverside area, made it through the storm with zero damage. We were very lucky and we're looking forward to resuming normal event and meeting schedules soon.
We'd love to see you at this month's ABC luncheon at Deerwood Country Club. It's a week from tomorrow, Friday, September 22. We have Sheriff Mike Williams scheduled to speak, and it will be a great opportunity to check in and catch up with your ABC network of friends and business partners.
See you soon,
Karin
