Last week we heard about Lean Jax, part of the Lean Consortium worldwide, on how to 'trim the fat' in business cycles, and improve productivity and profit margins.  Jerry was quite informative.

 

This week we will have Honorable Charles McBurney as our speaker to give us a legislative update for our State of Florida.  We are so very proud of Charles and his accomplishments, and are so glad to be able to call him a member of our club.

 

I gave out 50/50 tickets to Phil Rosebrock last week, as he was the only one to come up and wish me a 'happy June 5th' which is what was hidden in the newsletter.  See it pays to read the entire newsletter! 
 

We have a meet a member this week, which will be a LOT of fun, read more about it below.  Have a great week, everyone, and I'll see you Wednesday.
