If you don’t like staying up late on the 4th because you have to work on the 5th, You can enjoy fireworks at Kings Beach on July 3rd at 9:30 pm and a beach party all afternoon from 4-10 pm – Free Now that we’re at the midpoint through the year you’d be surprised how many people start thinking about charitable giving plans.  Many of the gift arrangements that will be made this year begin with a glass of iced tea at a nice patio restaurant in July or August.  If you have been thinking about charitable gift arrangements, now or through your estate, please give me a call and we’ll get together to discuss your ideas and enjoy a warm summer afternoon or evening.  Thanks for all you do to help the community.
