Help Our Troops Call Home

The Naples Area Board of Realtors sponsored an event last week to raise money for prepaid calling cards to send to our troops.  The event at Noodles Restaurant on Pine Ridge in Naples was very well attended with approximately 200 local realtors and support businesses donating money to buy the phone cards.  It was very crowded and warm but great to see good friends again and make new acquaintances.  The summer is a slow time for realtor events so we tend to lose touch with our friends during these hot and rainy months. 

Our troops overseas need our help to call home and assure their loved ones that they are doing well.  Please visit www.soldiersangels.org and donate a calling card to this worthy cause.  Soldiers’ Angels is a non-profit volunteer organization with hundreds of thousands of volunteer giving aid and comfort to our troops.  I have just become a fan of their Facebook page where you can read more information about the sacrifices our men and women are making to keep us safe.  We should give thanks every day to these brave Americans.

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!

The Toasty Team would like to wish our customers and friends a very happy July 4th holiday.  The weather here in Naples Florida has not been the best for a July 4th celebration with clouds and thunderstorms throughout the day.  Hopefully, the skies will clear this evening in time for the fireworks displays in downtown Naples and Sugden Park.

My favorite 4th of July activity is watching the special presentations on TV from Boston and New York and the Capitol Fourth on PBS.  The fireworks displays are amazing and usually the talent is excellent.  One of my dreams is to attend the production live but, as I dislike crowds, I doubt that will happen!  At least I can relax in the comfort of my own living room and enjoy the spectacle in high definition on my TV.  It is almost as good as being there and no crowds to fight.

HAPPY 4TH!
