Balancing Act
From Team JAB
We know how challenging it is to strike the perfect balance between one's professional and personal life, which is why we want to congratulate JAB advisory board member, Mike Tomas. The American Diabetes Association's Father's Day Council is honoring Mike with a "Father of the Year" Award on June 7, which recognizes "fathers who have demonstrated the ability to balance their personal lives, to serve as a role model for their children, and to help make a positive difference in their community." This honor is particularly exceptional given Mike's considerable professional accomplishments. He is CEO of Bioheart and President of the ASTRI group and is a highly regarded IT/telecom and biotech insider, entrepreneur and investor. He is the chairman of FIU's Global Entrepreneurship Center, serves on several business and community boards and is a Miami-Dade County Sports Commissioner. Congratulations on this well-deserved honor, Mike! If you would like to donate to the American Diabetes Association in Mike's honor, please click HERE.*

Summer As Easy as ABC

Other highlights include a floating trampoline and our huge inflatable waterslide. We love fun! Located at the Miami Rowing Center, 3601 Rickenbacker Causeway. Open for spring and summer Camp.

Old Cutler Bay Market Update
From Ashley Cusack, EWM Realtors: REPLY
Old Cutler Bay is a special gated neighborhood in Coral Gables with 136 homes, all waterfront with bay access and no bridges, generally on half acre lots. It sits directly between two of the most prestigious communities in South Florida: Gables Estates and Journey's End. Old Cutler Bay has its own prestige, but you tend to find somewhat smaller lots than those other communities and there's no mandatory association, so it lends the same prime location without the same sticker price. The neighborhood has seen a ton of activity in the past six months with seven homes sold, two pending sales, and only six active on the market! Based on the sales, the average selling price per square foot is $682.88. Current prices range from $3.45 million to $7.795 million. Interested in buying a waterfront home in a fabulous community? I'd love to show you what's available in Old Cutler Bay! Visit my website HERE.*

I'd like to pay $100-$200 per month and not have a high deductible. Basically I just need it for my yearly checkup and in case of emergencies. Thank you for your feedback. |
