Dear FJG Family,
As many of you know, last month tragedy hit when 12 lives were lost in a senseless act that took place in Virginia Beach. Virginia Beach is our city. It's home to our company, team members, friends, family and residents. You think something tragic will never happen in your city, and then it does and it rocks you to your core. Out of this tragedy we saw a community come together and support each other like never before - not only locally but nationally.
Mayor Bobby Dyer said it best, "We will not be defined by this horror. We will go forward. We are a city of resiliency and resolve." Our hearts continue to be with the families, friends, colleagues, and neighbors of the vict
ims.
To
support those who need it now more than ever, TFJG made a donation to the Virginia Beach Tragedy Fund in which 100% of the funds raised go directly to the victims. Those interested in donating can find information here: https://unitedwayshr.org/vabeach/ #vbstrong
Sincerely,

Be the Solution Winners
Congratulations to the following team members for taking extraordinary measures to
Be the Solution
at their communities:
LaToya Jones
, Community Manager &
Stephen Lewis
,
Maintenance Supervisor
at
Carolina Spring Senior Apartments
LaToya and Stephen were nominated by their Portfolio Manager, Diana Cruz. D
iana wrote:
"Both LaToya and Steve have exemplified the Core Values of Team Work, Commitment and Character. Carolina Spring recently experienced a lengthy power outage due to a vehicle hitting a transformer. This team went above and beyond to ensure that their residents were cared for and had options during this incident. LaToya quoted, 'we are not only employees but an extension of their family'. They immediately contacted the Department of
Aging to provide bottled water to the residents
during the heat. They also work ed with the local fire department to
transport residen
ts to The Seymore
Center if they chose to not stay at the
community. They went door to door throughout the entire power outage to ensure that any needs of residents were met. In a Senior Community many do not have family close by that can immediately assist. LaToya and Steve by acting quickly and diligently working until the situation was resolved became their solution to what would have been a very uncomfortable situation.
They definitely deserve nomination for Be the Solution not only because of their outstanding efforts as a team but because of their commitment and character."
Cathy Dunkle,
Leasing Specialist at Kings Crest
Cathy was nominated by Community Manager, Sally Oertle.
Sally wrote:
"She came on board about a month ago and she has been such a big help to me. She has taken on every task that I've thrown at her with a great can-do attitude! She's wonderful with the residents and very professional with prospective residents. Her demeanor is always cheerful and she is an absolute pleasure to work with. She's a great asset to King's Crest and to the Franklin Johnston Group as a whole!"
Maintenance Technician at Trail Creek
Bryan was nominated by Community Manager, Rachel Bryson.
Rachel wrote:
"During the busiest part of the leasing season, Bryan has been working hard to complete all work orders, take the many HVAC calls that come because of summer, and also complete all normal work orders and turns. He never complains, is always positive, and stays focused 100% of the time. During a time like this, residents could easily get upset but because they all love Bryan, they're so understanding & have been so patient. He truly is an A++ guy! One of the hardest working Maintenance Technicians I have ever had the pleasure of working with. He truly shows what 'Commitment' means in our Core Values!"
Alesia Strickland,
Asst Community Manager at Village Oaks
Alesia was nominated by Village Oaks Community Manager, Tamara Malone.
Tamara wrote:
"It has been such a pleasure working with Alesia Strickland because of her positive attitude and her strong work ethics. Alesia is here working late nights and weekends ensuring that no file is left out of compliance and that management meet their quotas. I admire her strength and passion for her work and it makes me all the more proud to call her my Assistant Manager. What impressed me the most about Alesia is her strong work ethics and her trainable nature. There is not a day that goes by where Alesia is not asking or taking the initiative to be more effective at doing what she does.
She is a great asset to my team and I am looking forward to her what is in store for her in the near future."
