Just a reminder that we will be meeting this Sunday (the 4th Sunday of January) at 2PM at the Calvary Baptist Church.  We all look forward to finally hearing George from CARe again!

 
I am starting to line up the next two months worth of speakers.  So far I have Feb 27 lined up with the city AND COUNTY building department.  PLEASE COME if you have any interest in the permitting process or questions about permits of any kind.  I really want to show the county support by having a number of people there, so please come and tell your neighbors!
 
I also have March 27 booked with Denise Turner, Interior Designer.
 
I have two additional leads for landscape architects, but none have committed so far.  I am also trying to track down Laurie Delgado from Escrow Funding Services. 
 
If you have any other ideas or if you have someone or something you want to learn about, please let me know and we'll see if we can work it into one of our meetings!

Spellman, her husband, George, and two grandchildren have been living in a camper on the Deercrest Drive site of their burned home since the Old Fire burned the forest behind Devore.
