The NAVIGATOR Guiding You Toward Success April 2021 Volume #4; Week #3 (this edition needed to be sent a day later than usual...sorry for the confusion)

Thank you! A Successful Campaign!

Thanks to the generosity of our members, our Community Awareness Committee was able to assist both Lake County, and Sumter County Schools, providing requested clothing items for students. Multiple affiliates and brokers volunteered their offices as drop-off locations. And a huge amount of items were donated! Highly successful! Thank you to all our members who participated!
