FLORIDA'S FLAMINGO PUDDLE MEETING SUMMARY                 APRIL 25, 2013

____________________________________________________________________________

Welcome & Introductions

We welcomed a new member, Mr. Glenn Knies of USLI to our group and we had two potential members, Jack Dean and David Thompson of G. Fried Flooring America with us.  Their firm works with many carriers when property claims call for carpet replacement.

Our meeting was informal this month as more than half of our group was unavailable to attend.  We discussed the purpose and mission of Blue Goose with our visitors both of whom have long and well-established connections to the community and strong affiliations with the insurance industry.  Jack Dean has agreed to recommend Blue Goose membership to the property adjusters with whom he has regular business dealings in an effort to support and assist us to grow the organization in the Sarasota area.
