Hello BGCA, April Showers have brought May flowers. Summer is

just around the corner and we can all start thinking about swimming

pools, barbequing, vacations, and spending time with family and

friends.

June will be here before we know it, so start thinking about the golf

outing on June 21st at Cherry Blossom in Georgetown. Jackie has

done a wonderful job putting together this year’s outing and we

hope to see you all there. Whether you’re looking to play, sponsor

or both, reach out to Jackie if you have any questions or would like

to participate.

We have a great speaker at this month’s meeting, Mark Treesh,

Executive Director of the Insurance Institute of KY.

Remember to invite friends, co-workers, and others in our industry

to join us in May. We would love to see the BGCA continue to grow

and expand.

I hope to see you all in our CE classes and at the May meeting.

Sincerely,

Teresa
